File >under microscopic! >> I want to highly recommend the above release if you're into very subtle experimental ambience. This one definitely fits into the "not quite music recommendations" thread that Sean Cooper recently started. Not your typical musical structures but more like evolving, often chaotic, assemblages of sound. Admittedly, music in this style is challenging to uniniated ears but quite rewarding to those who can hear it for what it is. Other releases in a similar vein: . Richard Chartier: a hesitant fold cd (Meme) . Richard Chartier: post-fabricated cdr (Microwave) . *0: 0.00 cdr (Mu Label) . Miki Yui: small sounds cd (BMB Lab) -->-Lance--- xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
