ok - this will certainly qualify as the second "idm dork moment" of the day, but indulge me -
the new b. fleischman 7" on zealtronic has two tracks:
A. Toru Okada
B. In the Well
funny thing is, there's a book called "the wind-up bird chronicle" by Murakami. the main character in the book is named Toru Okada and he spends a good chunk of his time at the bottom of a dry well meditating and having all of these, at times transcendant, at times horrifying, experiences. the book is really excellent, btw. it's one of the most unique books i've ever red; part almost noirish detective story, part serious literature *analyzing the human condition*, part historical fiction and analysis of japan's forgotten campaign in manchuria during WWII. seriously.
i'm just pleased to see that mr. fleischman has as good a taste in reading material as he does in music composition.
