2004 release, repressed. The Icelandic duet, Slowblow (Orri Jónsson and Dagur Kári Petursson), has been active for over a decade. They have made their mark on the Icelandic underground scene with a certain kind of friendly dust-music. They exhibit a uniquely Icelandic aesthetic of home-made, lo-fi analog tinkerings, which both musically and lyrically blend together the everyday and the fantastic. On the album, Slowblow match the gentle hum of ancient amplifiers and the tinkling hammers of an old upright piano with the soft squeaking of pump organ pedals or the sound of mechanical sewing machines; for them these are not unwanted artifacts, but the very essence of their sound.

This is a compilation of twelve electronic accordion & melodica tracks. "The Asthmatic Worm" is a 19th century nickname
for the accordion. Since their invention in the first half of the 19th century, accordions have been played mostly as
classical concert and folk instruments. Even today, little has changed in that regard. Only recently, the accordion has
found interest by a number of electronic music producers. Björk collaborated with Japanese accordion player
Coba, Rephlex artist Bogdan Raczynski has recorded a full album of accordion music and Uwe Schmidt
sampled it for his Señor Coconut record of Kraftwerk covers. With the accordion, the possibilities are
endless. Artists include: Múm, März, Sensorama, Hey, Doctor Rockit, Gotan
Project, Burnt Friedman & Jaki Liebezeit, Atom TM, Markus Nikolai, Dntel, Wechsel
Garland and Gonzales.
