North/South Records Presents "The Art Star Sounds Compilation" NYC: Nicholas Nace of the folk duo A Brief View of the Hudson and North/South Records presents the Art Star Sounds (A.S.S.) Compilation CD. The A.S.S. Compilation is an eclectic mix of talented downtown musicians and poets - some famous, some infamous and some unknown - all of whom make up the modern Lower East Side and East Village landscape. Art Star Sounds is a breakthrough recording jam packed with twenty three tracks of raw, genuine music and poetry from New York's most eccentric, bizarre and beautiful artists. The years leading to and immediately following the millennium have been rife with artistic tension and productivity and New York's vibrant downtown scene has been long overdue for a sonic overview. Now it is here. This compilation is a well rounded document of what's happening in NYC right here and right now - a portal to the world where a new generation exist and hone their skills.
