I cant stand the voice on l.f.clouds, so never noticed. However the above track, 'electric counterpoint' is highly recommended. He layers many tape samples of Metheny's guitar playing over each other, and.. and. get it! Later in the piece, theres even mellow sub-bass! The 1st track 'dif.trains' is amazing too. It has the K. quartet treated in the same manner (and not being allowed to abuse their instruments) together with vocal samples and train noises. Chris. ps. always intersted to hear about older 'idm roots' classics like Reich. Any one else want to suggest their fave.s?
