FILASTINE "Burn It" (Green Scare Benefit) CD

Filastine, a former member of ¡Tchkung! and founding participant in the Infernal Noise Brigade, has been drawing on musical traditions from all around the globe to compose incendiary anarchist music for well over a decade now. This 16-track full length offers a wide-ranging mélange of driving rhythms, electronic experimentation, on-site sampling, and multilingual vocals; it has already been released in Europe to great acclaim. A full $5 from every CD sale goes to support the defendants in the FBI witch-hunt "Operation Backfire," who face long stretches of prison time and massive debts. The extensive packaging, in which no plastic is used save that in the CD itself, includes a 12-page booklet that provides a full background and commentary on their cases.
