It’s “unmistakably Suede” says Mark Radcliffe when it literally sounds like a Banshees and a Wire track stuck together. Why is anyone impressed by this? Are Colin Newman and the estate of John McGeoch being paid royalties? They bloody well ought to be.

Get Out [2025 Edition] by Pita (Editions Mego) pitaemego.bandcamp.com/album/get-ou...
Pioneering experimental electronic record receives first-ever complete vinyl pressing, featuring expanded content and exclusive liner notes.

Editions Mego release the highly anticipated vinyl reissue of Get Out, the groundbreaking second album by Peter Rehberg under his influential PITA moniker. Originally released in 1999, this seminal work stands as a landmark achievement in experimental electronic music, praised for its revolutionary fusion of ear-splitting noise and melancholic melodies. Moving beyond the era's trend of pure abstraction, Get Out represents a pivotal moment when experimental electronic music began exploring new territories laying forth a path which many artists would subsequently follow.

This expansive reissue marks a significant milestone for collectors and enthusiasts, presenting all 12 tracks from the 2008 eMego CD version on vinyl for the first time. The inclusion of the rare Detroit live recording (remastered by Jim O’Rourke) provides invaluable insight into PITA's performance practice during the album's original touring cycle, whilst new liner notes from Jim O'Rourke and Chris Clepper provide further personal and anecdotal insight.

Since its original release, Get Out has been recognized as essential listening for understanding the evolution of experimental electronic music in the late 20th century. This authoritative reissue ensures that Rehberg's visionary work remains accessible to new audiences while providing longtime admirers with the definitive version of this crucial album.

You know Spotify is run by shitheads because I'm willing to bet somewhere in that company they let this happen on purpose just for the bantz, just for a news item where they'd try and look a bit edgy, but I mean they just come off as the least inspiring bunch of cunts you could possibly imagine.

I say this with love, but the main danger in making modular synth music seems to be that if you're not careful you very quickly wind up making what sound like planetarium soundtracks
