Trummerflora, or rubble plants and trees, are a special phenomena unique to heavily bombarded urban areas. The bomb acts as a plow, mixing the rubble fragments with the earth which often contain seeds dormant for a century or more. These seeds come to light and those that can live in this new and special earth grow and flourish.

"This is the long overdue follow-up to the first Trummerflora released in 1995 which is about the time I encountered Hirsch and Abel Ashes at the Wikiup Cafe/Intersection Gallery where a lot of San Diego's experimental artists used to perform. The physical space may be gone but the seeds that were then planted now bear fruit in this sequel augmented by other flora that have since emerged. The aforementioned artists' resilience is finally rewarded while Ultra 7 makes a return appearance. Marcelo Radulovich is consistently versatile and new discoveries such as hans and damon, 5/5/2000, Marty's Sexual Organs and Upsilon Acrux never cease to surprise and delight as they enhance the sonic landscape. I invite you to sit back and enjoy the assembled experimenters who present a vision at once unique yet unified in their common pursuit: the explorations of sound." - Marcos Fernandes 1998

Imagine this before my eyes I could see these creatures moving walking very fast moving faster and faster in many directions very busy verbusy doing things occasionally stopping in flight paying attention to others inspecting the situation and as I peered more closely I could see what all this was about oh it's so incredible everything was in a state of virtual agitation the creatures or things were observing eachother things were observing each other curiously close observing each moment as many objects would motor by at speeds faster than a blinking eye or a thought quickly forgotten I now was aware of the other bodies they were inside out no skin covering the organs I could see the veins I could see the blood flowing through the veins I could see thought I could see disease I could see black and brown bowel movement dropping from the little hole I could see urine pouring from the kedneys and out the dick I could see for sure the whole body all moving organs pulsating and breathing inside out gutsy slimy and slippery these were not ordinary things these were humans I could actually reach into each body figure and touch the parts feel the wet softness of each penetrate to the center enter into the domain of the fantastic sometimes it is cold sometimes it is hot I don't know why it is cold "dogs can ruin my day"
