I think the Miki Yui disc has its charms, but I doubt it would have
occured to me to compare it to 1/Tau were it not for the rumored
connection between the two. Miki Yui is so unassuming and unforced that
it comes off as being a compendium of field recordings than the more
(evidently) composed Hikuioto. Which I prefer anyway (but not on
principle).
If you're looking for something in the general style of Miki Yui with even
more body-wracking presence than 1/Tau, check out the unbelievably great
"Extract from field recording archive #1" CD from Toshiya Tsunoda. His MO
for this release is the placement of microphones in/on particularly large
objects (often found around shipping docks). These mics pick up the
almost subliminal rumblings of the environment (people walking by,
machinery, boats) and make them larger-than-life. At some points, they
emit such massive waves of droning ebb/flow that you just may think about
packing some Dramamine for archive #2.
