Heard some of WO's new stuff on KCRW during the last week (he had a show for a few weeks.) Very interesting stuff, and *finally* some completely new stuff from him. What I heard was very ambient, kinda like Scanner (lotsa sampled conversations and speeches) with cool FSOL-ish beats added in. Guess he's in the studio as we speak, putting finishing touches on a new album. I'll be first in line! -Phil [----------] [---] [-----] [-----] [-----] [----------] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [----------] [----------] [---] [---] [----------] [----------] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [--------] [-----] [-----] [---] [-----] [----------] Home is where the stereo is!
