its another one of those alot like Tomorrow's Harvest where i actually dont listen to it alot because i dont feel like i can listen to it piecemeal, i feel like i have to sit down and listen to the whole thing end to end each time i get it out, or at least with exai, one entire disc at a time (i wish i had gotten in on the vinyl cuz now its well pricey) i know what you're saying though, the older material was alot more 'user friendly' and still pushing past every boundary at the same time... i feel like at some point they were like "well that's it then people are starting to figure our sound out" and went mad in max/msp like a year then returned with confield Clint Anderson Systems Engineer On Fri, Nov 7, 2014 at 6:29 PM, Alan Lucas <alucas@gmail.com> wrote:
