Their early recordings, all made quickly, were heavily influenced by free jazz and krautrock and were generally considered industrial music, despite the objections of the group.
By 1981, only Stapleton was left from the original trio and he now regards 1982's "Homotopy To Marie", as being the first proper Nurse With Wound release. There are now over 30 full length NWW titles.
Many early albums have been reissued by the french label Rotorelief.
Stapleton's fondness for dada, surrealism and absurdist humor are demonstrated in much of NWW's output, which, though it draws directly on nearly every musical genre imaginable (from cabaret music to nursery rhymes to John Cage to The Beach Boys to krautrock to pop music to ambient music and Captain Beefheart) retains a distinctive and recognizable aura.
Musique concrete may be the most prominent touchstone, due to Stapleton's frequent – and often humorous – use of creative tape loops and editing. Athough NWW has a long and illustrious list of collaborators (most notably David Tibet of Current 93), at time of writing, NWW is effectively a duo of Stapleton and Colin Potter, the latter having first worked with NWW on 1992's "Thunder Perfect Mind" when it was recorded at Potter's ICR studio.
Those interested in learning more should research the 'infamous' Nurse With Wound list" (see also the Nurse With Wound list tag on Last.fm). It is a list of band names of NWW's obscure influences and it has become a kind of guide for those seeking fringe music of all kinds.

I'm going to do a semi-live commentary of me listening to this song:
So someone is really bad at sweeping glass... in a dungeon?
Is that Grendel or just my grandfather snoring?
I feel like I'm hearing a devised theatre piece that shouldn't ever be seen.
I wonder how they even got samples for this? Maybe I'm just listening to masochist ASMR.
Well, this has been a fun listen.

you have to get out of here
you frantically rattle your chains
but it's useless, you're pinned to the wall
something is growling in the distance
and it's getting louder, closer
maybe it's sleeping, snoring
don't wake it. you stop rattling the chains.
you can hear whimpering echoing off the walls of the cave
sometimes they burst into screams
other times they just moan
maybe if I'm quiet
it will leave me alone

I never knew you can make movies only with sound.

I am listening to this in school and I am actually mortified this is really not the place
Infinite Sky
It sounds, and that's more than enough!

Things this song could be:
1. A type writer
2. Tinfoil ripping
3. Someone shuffling a drawer full of silverware
Jake La Squish2
I reckon it's the sound of multiple guns being cocked..
Sean Rosenau
A rifle or shotgun being loaded and cocked then repeatedly distorted.
