Here's a good page for Blonk info

The original CD discussed was "Six Sound Poems of Hugo Ball" / BABA-OEMF
(I think), which isn't easily available in the US (at least in the
places I shop), so I can't help you there - and the LP of Blonk _doing_
"Ursonate" (BVHaast 063, 1986) seems to now be out of print.
The Schwitters CD on Wergo (wer 6304-2) is actually Schwitters himself
doing "Ursonate" (from a long thought lost recording), and can be found
in a variety of on-lines. I highly recommend Eric over at
http://www.anomalousrecords.com/mailorder.html
for all your avant-needs. He does carry the Schwitters CD for $18 and
two other Blonk CDs ( "Flux de Bouche" and "Vocalor") for only $14
apiece. [He can be a bit tough to deal with at first, so read his
"Ordering information" closely] He also has a great selection of the
recent Alga Marghen VocSon releases (Jose Luis Castillejo, Henri Chopin,
Philip Corner, Brion Gysin, Sten Hanson, Bernard Heidseick, Ake Hodell,
Gil J. Wolman, and coming soon - Francois Dufrene!) that might also be
of interest to list-ers.
