   About The Reaction
the conditions of the Reaction's activity explain both its discipline and the forms of hostility it encounters. they are interested not in finding a niche in the present artistic edifice, but in undermining it. the Reaction is in the catacombs of visible culture. our times thus compel us, once again, to write in a new way. some elements will be intentionally omitted; and the plan will have to remain unclear. listeners will encounter certain decoys, like the very hallmark of the era. as long as certain notes are interpolated here and there, the overall meaning may appear: just as secret clauses have very often been added to whatever treaties may openly stipulate;just as some chemical agents only reveal their hidden properties when they are combined with others. however, there will be only too many things which are, alas, easy to understand. the Reaction seeks to convey the tenuous balance between object and action by which they maintain the tentative relations with the forces they organise, and how they are inherently subject to change, capable of resisting closure and objectification by acknowledging and engaging NOISE .

OBSCURED BY FUZZ - Vinyl Album (TVLP01)


  This 14 track album by Dan Melchior is out now on the Topplers Record Label.

  Dan Says... It's a good one I think, very loud and blasted out like the more 'punk' moments on 'Thankyou very much' , but with a good dose of mangled pop too.

Available from good independent dealers in the US and UK or direct from Topplers
