I don't know what are you talking about. What did you mean by 'out
of the box' sounds. Are you trying to say that Ae are better than
Vulva... I'm confused . . . :-o . Gear - sound - music ---> mess
Incunabula sounds so gentle, easy listening, jazzy, summertime....
I love the feel of this CD, and to quote IreneMcC "Maybe I just want
pleasing sounds to wash my soul with." I'm not saying that Chiastic
is better than Incunabula, they are both great and different....
