Jon PENNYCOOK reviewed Conform to Deform by Wesley Doyle
Fascinating review of what happened to Some Bizzare/Stevo presented as a series of soundbites
4 stars
Rather than being a conventional biography of the #SomeBizzare record label, or #Stevo its founder, this is a chronological series of soundbites from each of the important players. This features contributions by artists (including #MarcAlmond who stayed with Stevo for the longest period), #DaveBall also of #SoftCell, one member of #EinstuerzendeNeubauten (fell out with Stevo, ended up working for competing record companies), #TheThe, #PsychicTV, #Coil, #CabaretVoltaire, and others, plus some journalists, and Stevo himself obviously.
