Thus far Farmers Manual has been used as a group name, track title, album title in FM, and label generate and test.

"farmersmanual is a self-generating memeplex lazily self-organised around the enterprise of doped-out electronics. Since 1996 it has been evolving as a subsurface autopoetic process with erratic overt activity consistently transmitting a unique quality of pathology and beauty skimming the bow-wave of mainstream aesthetics."

Farmers Manual is (or was) Mathias Gmachl (member of GCTTCATT), Stefan Possert (also known as znrR), Oswald Berthold (also known as Pxp, Calimba de Luna, Tsx, and member of CD_Slopper) Gert Brantner (v93r) and Nik Gaffney (aka. zzkt/zy'z X).
