i've traced the end of my interest in tortoise to the departure of bundy brown, whose subsequent projects and remixes -- including directions and directions in music, as well as those under his own name -- have, for the most part, contained those aspects present in the first tortoise lp that i think were absent from "millions now living..." and "tnt." then there's the brokeback lp, which is tortoise's doug mccombs. i'm really fond of much of this lp as well. the thrill jockey site at brainwashed lists mccombs' impetus for the group as his desire "to explore something not as densely structured" as tortoise et al. i think that's a pretty good starting point for what i like about directions, brokeback, and the earlier tortoise releases. my question: what else in the vein of this description is out there? (note: should be instrumental.) thanks, sc
