just to let those interested enough know that the ambient series
which was marshalled by Simon Hopkins actually reached 24 volumes.
the latter ones from 5-24 included the wonderful david toop 'ocean of
sound compilations', japanese noise, and various artists including
Techno Animal, Paul Schutze, Toop himself and Edgar Froese.
if you can, track them down. i can't praise this series of releases
highly enough.
