I would like to second (I think we're up to fifth or sixth now actually)
the high marks given to the 3-CDR set by N Zammuto. There's a lot to
digest here, but it's all very well done.
Disc 1 is a 70 minutes of flowing ambient soundscape that has a highly
Oval-ic quality to it, with multiple semi-rhythmic interruptions of
sound which never really upset the flow of the work. It's really subtle
and quite impressive.
Disc 2 is an hour's worth of rhythmic static and hiss, Pan Sonic without
the hum, with some quieter Pole moments thrown in. It's quite minimal,
and there are many very tasty chunks contained within.
Disc 3 is a wide variety of things, with quiet breakbeats, otherworldly
squeaks and pops, interesting vocal samples, and a wide range of tempo
and organic and electronic instrumentation, all sewn together in a real
heaphone-friendly quilt. It's very engaging and surprising, a lot of
fun to listen to.
Overall, I am very impressed.
