SUPPRESSIVE ACTS: Actions or omissions undertaken knowingly
to suppress, reduce or impede Scientology or Scientologists.
(Such actions are high crimes and result in dismissal
from Scientology and its organizations.)
'Suppressive Acts I-X' is a collection of ten songs
that try to bind a history of metal to a career in electronica,
with more or less success. Metal song aside, the album
is a study in thriftiness; reusing a base of 50 or so
samples and manipulating them enough to render them
useful across an entire album. Such a constraint makes
for a far more cohesive outing than 2000's 'Gearhound'...
If 'Gearhound' was schizophrenic, 'Suppressive Acts
I-X' is meticulous paranoia. [...]

— New album en route
The aggro-tastic new album by J Lesser aka Lesser
aka "Lesser" is coming on the very popular CD format
from Matador Europe this October. Entitled 'Suppressive
Acts : I-IX' the latest instalment from one of modern
music's most creative male persons will enthral both
old fans and new. Though details surrounding a US release
have not been revealed, they will be soon and that will
be a happy day for all when it arrives.

Well... the Lesser record is finished and titled 'Suppressive:
Acts I-X' and is a bit of a tribute to my father who
died over the holidays. In keeping with the Lesser 'something
for nothing, or close to nothing' ethic the CD also
includes the entire "Robotic" album, which was my early
90s fake early 80s (think men without hats) band, in
mp3 format.
I'm beginning to look into the possibly of doing a bit
of touring this summer with bLevin bLectum and Wobbly,
which would be a fun touring party so i know this outing
will be good. I got the word that i need to come up
with a Matmos remix soon.
re: new addition to our household - the day after my
pop died, bLevin and I adopted Keeki
-- a sweet white-capped pionus parrot and Peeper
-- the cockatiel confirmed her female status by laying
a clutch of 3 (so far) eggs. Finches Drew and Martin
remain nonplused.
btw - sorry about the lesser
website but i am doing what little i can to stop this
inane war.

been promising his new album for so long now he must
really mean it this time.
i'm REALLY am going to be done with the material for
my album in the next week or 2 on the outside... other
than that...nothing exciting... at all..
Except that I bought a cockatiel and he is nice.
Listening to :
5 or 6 cds of bird calls.
05/03/00 — The long rumored
pairing of Lesser aka LSR aka Jay Lesser and Matador
aka Matador Records aka US, is at last, not rumored.
After a steady stream of concussion-inducing recordings
for the Vinyl Communications
label, knocking around the globe as the 3rd wheel in
the Matmos van, knocking around the other parts of the
globe on the just completed Lesser/Kid 606 “Spice
Up Your Wife” tour, Lesser is preparing his Matador
debut full-length Gearhound. After he lets us hear it,
we’ll tell you about it. If you’re good. Until
that day arrives, you can get up to speed at the Lesser
website.
