Yes the Miki Yui cd is a good one especially track
8 (honolulu) which i swear contains japanese vocal
samples from the Nihongo Paku Paku website
(
http://www.twics.com/~ysdrunka/paku/). There
was a fair amount of chatter about this Miki Yui
cd when it came out in late August. Most people
agree that it is right up there in quality & style
with 1/Tau's monumental Hikuioto cd.

I actually enjoy the A. Krause Schwellert cd but I
can definitely see how people who arent into
experimental drones wouldnt be into this one. It's
one of those throbbing hypnotic listens like Brian
Eno's Neroli, Jake Mandell's Healing, or the
Mesmer releases on Ash International (to name
just a few of my favorite experimental drone
releases).
