i heard something last night that would fit the bill: steve reich - "different trains." it's the kronos string quartet playing over looped taped samples of voices and train whistles. interesting listening. even better is "electric counterpoint" on the same cd, performed by pat methany (guitar) with his taped self about 10 times. no vocals here, just great stuff - equally melodic and rhythmic. and most interestingly, the last (fast) movement sounds exactly like one of the synth parts from little fluffy clouds. i mean... whoa. so much so that i checked the orb cd for a credit to reich. i'm convinced this is a non-so-subtle plagiarism by the good dr. patterson. anyone agree? has this been mentioned before? -nub --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
