It's coming out in a few months. Exceptional work. You should ask Dimitri
(dimitri@phthalo.com) about ordering it.
The other two Phthalo releases I have are
Libythth: dissolve-a-diamond, Phthalo 20
Kit Clayton: Kit Clayton live on shortwave radio_kalx 90.7fm, Phthalo 17
Ths Kit Clayton is *NOISE*. Pure and simple. Long digital manipulations of
noise and static. Not too pleasant to my ears but it has a purpose, I think
of it as inverse ambient music, whatever that would be...
The Libythth is pretty interesting. Very similiar to Phthalocyanine's stuff
but a little less raw and it has a fresh bit of humor. I'd recommend it.

I really like Navy Warship. It's funny because I've had *very* similar
sentiments to both you and David but after multiple listens I agree fully
with David. Dimitri (Phthalocyanine) is one of the great artists of our time
(he also makes paintings that look a lot like his music sounds).
