- The list maps influences behind Steven Stapleton’s project.
- It remains a useful starting point for adventurous collectors.

## Summary

Nurse with Wound, the experimental project led by Steven Stapleton, compiled an influential list of nearly 300 artists recommended for adventurous record collectors. The selection is presented as a guide to the obscure, experimental and boundary-pushing music that informed the project’s distinctive sound.

The list, often known as the “Nurse With Wound list”, spans artists and groups working across avant-garde, free improvisation, electronic music, psychedelia and other non-mainstream styles. Its importance lies less in being a definitive ranking than in offering crate diggers a route into a broad network of unusual recordings and underground musical influences.
