I think the cathars cd got talked about a bit when it first came out,
which was a while ago (actually about a year). I'm not normally a real
fan of ambient, but I played this a number of times on the show. and the
roots of IDM was great fun, although I don't have the whole collection.
But you know what cd from around that time was _really_ good? _dated_ on
toshoklabs. still listen to that every now and then.
