Interestingly (you can tell I don't get out much ;-)), I notice Mr Loo was involved in an IDMList compilation a few years back: Various - 'IDMList Remix Chain'. See <http://www.discogs.com/release/107226> alan -------- Original Message -------- http://www.chromedecay.org/releases/cd002/ I've been listening to BVL's "6 Strings For A Winter's Day" nearly all day, and it's some of the most beautiful music I've heard in the past few years. This is a collection of Bill's improvisation on guitar with effects, delays, and laptop, and it's shimmering, vague, luminous, quiet and challenging all at once. In the interest of full disclosure, Bill is a friend of mine who gave me a place to stay for the festival in 2002, and came to play in Iowa City for a show I promoted. But believe the hype -- if you have any love for ambient music, you'll want to have this. If I had to compare, I'd say it was like Fennesz, but not as hashed up, or Robert Rich, but not new-agey or slack. ---------------------- Alan Lockett (Senior Language Co-ordinator - EFL) Language Centre, University of Bristol, 30-32 Tyndall's Park Road, Bristol, BS8 1PY, UK tel: +44 (0)117 3310914 e-mail: Alan.R.Lockett@bristol.ac.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
