the first EC album is called Omakase on Vinyl Communications. Secondly came
A Pert Cyclic Omen on some American Label subsidiary and is his album that I
like the least, although I give him much credit for making the titles of all
the songs on the albums anagrams of each other. Thirdly came Studio City,
which is his best. I would say it's closest to the Pthalo or Lexaunculpt
sound with a bit more of an edge with some very noisy bits as well.
Rock on. Brian.
