Negativland

Negativland is an American experimental music collective known for sound collages, noise and culture-jamming. Reviews highlight their Dadaist approach, cut-and-paste compositions and provocative releases.

Notable for a 1991 legal dispute related to their single "U2"; that episode and its fallout (the Fair Use material and related releases being pulled) are discussed in multiple reviews.

DeBaser's reviews present Negativland as an American experimental collective focused on sound collage, noise and cultural collage. Reviewers praise their chaotic, Dada-influenced approach and cite clear influences (krautrock, Stockhausen, the Residents). Several reviews discuss the group's legal controversy around the "U2" single and the Fair Use album. Overall the coverage is admiring and vivid.
