Not for the reasons you quote for liking Bisk, I find that Elfish Echo touches a similar place for me - but in an ambient vein (which is why I say "not for the same reasons"). I also find "Ticklish Matters" a different animal than their previous two releases (which seem a bit more similar to each other stylistically) - I like 'em all, though. Bisk, EE and Matmos occupy a hard-to-describe neighborhood in my demographic categorization. Perhaps it's because they're all difficult to graph. paul roquet wrote: > Listening to 'Ticklish Matters' for the billionth time, I am again amazed > by how far afield Naohiro Fujikawa's releases are from the general realms > of experimental music.
