        I recently found the _Strom_ CD used in Los Angeles, so it's
released (don't know if it's still in print, though).  The tracks tend to
"noodle" around a bit and I wish things were a bit more cohesive at times 
(Atom Heart syndrome), but it's still good IDM in down tempo mode.

        _Headphoneasy Rider_ is quite subtle, IMO -- I'd call it "minimal
techno" with quite a bit of experimentation... at times I hear early
Cabaret Voltaire in the tracks, especially with the bass guitar bits here
and there.  I lost track of Peter's work since BFord 9, but this is
nothing like that album, IMO.  

        Also I've been meaning to mention that those into Chain Reaction/
Basic Channel/Porter Ricks should definitely track down Experimental
Audio Research - _The Koner Experiment_ [1997 Sonic Boom/Space Age
Recordings].  The CD is a little over 46 min. of trance inducing, delayed
bleeps and rhythms ala CR 002.  The perfect CD for late night 
relaxation...
