Keola Beamer is one of Hawai'i's premier singer/songwriters, arrangers, composers, and slack key guitarists. His well of talent springs from five generations of the Island's most illustrious musical lineages. checkout: http://www.kbeamer.com/ p.s. KLF's chill out came around to me once again, in the form of tuvan throat singing (exampled in song#4, dream time in lake jackson) --i just saw a live show by Huun-Huur-Tu, a tuvan quartet straight from the country of tuva, near mongolia and siberia. they were beyond phenomenal. they have a remarkable art form of overtone or throat-singing. They're friggin centuries old IDM, just lower tech in my opinion. if interested checkout: http://www.shanachie.com/artists/HuunHuurTu/Huun.htm agent mully
