Negativland

Negativland is an American experimental music band which originated in the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1970s. They took their name from a Neu! track, while their record label (Seeland Records) is named after another Neu! track. The core of the band consists of Mark Hosler, David Wills (aka "The Weatherman"), Peter Conheim and Jon Leidecker (aka "Wobbly"). Negativland has released a number of albums ranging from pure sound collage to more musical expositions. These have mostly been released on their own label, Seeland Records. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, they produced several recordings for SST Records, most notably Escape from Noise, Helter Stupid and U2. Negativland were sued by the band U2's record label, Island Records, and by SST Records, which brought them widespread publicity and notoriety. Late Negativland member Don Joyce coined the term culture jamming in 1984.
== Links to Peel ==
Peel, a devoted SST fan, played tracks from their first SST LP, Escape From Noise, which was distributed by RecRec Music in Europe, frequently in late 1987. He also played tracks from their second SST/RecRec LP Helter Stupid in 1990. After Negativland left SST following the dispute over U2, Peel stopped keeping track of the band.
