mika, if your reading this, please take a moment to perhaps pause and
reflect. the holidays are upon us, and christmas is almost here. now, i'm
not a religious person, but i've been given to certain stretches of extreme
sentiment when the time and topic's right. i'd like to appeal to you, with
the best of intentions and with all due respect, to make a **full album**
of material like such as occupies the latter half of your recent touch lp,
_onko_. beautiful music, and oddly touching. we've seen album upon album of
ruminations on the musical potential of static and digital noise, and we've
been impressed by the seriousness and commitment with which you've pursued
such potential. now you've shown another side of yourself; let it be known
that the ears are here...
thank you,
sc
