Weird Record Alert: Nash the Slash

2 months ago by Alan Cross | July 4, 2010 8:36 pm

One of the strangest records ever released was issued by multi-instrumentalist and electronic mad scientist, Nash the Slash. 

In 1981, he made a record called Decomposing.  This was probably the only record in the history of the universe that could never, ever be played on the wrong speed on a turntable.  All the songs were written, arranged, performed and recorded in such a way that you could play any track on any speed on your turntable–and it would sound good.  Take the song "Life in Loch Ness,” for example.  Play it at 33 1/3 and the song runs 6:18.  At 45, it takes up 4:40.  And at 78, the track was over in 2:42. 

Try doing that with a CD or MP3 player.
