CDs:
This Crying Age (91), and another album that I haven't heard yet.

     Wow. Empty music, held together by a metronome's pulse. Mason 
Jones (wouldn't he be surprised to see his name pop up in alt.rave?) 
said that this music sounded like "rituals of an unknown purpose are 
taking place nearby," and I think that about sums it up. I use this 
for Tarot readings and other silly pagan rituals.
     _Very_ ambient (it ranks right up there with Orb's "Spanish 
Castles In Space" for sheer emptiness). I would even go so far as to 
say that this is advanced ambience, because it is so spacy and empty. 
I had to listen to this CD ten or eleven times before I could stay 
awake the whole way through it. I see this as a good thing. These 
people aren't afraid to take their time and to give songs room to 
breathe.
