So has anyone heard Alog's "Red Shift Swing" on Rune Grammofon?  I picked it
up at Aquarius (SF) yesterday after reading a cover blurb describing it as a
cross between Tortoise & Oval.  Well, it's really nothing like that at all,
but it is fucking phenomenal.  Lo-fi ambiance with murmurs of free jazz
percussion, looping bliss, all kinds of oddities.  I've only gotten the
chance for a couple of listens, so it's still pretty much indescribable --
but suffice to say I'm thoroughly captivated.
