:) deep ambient is the next craze. not the post-processed new-age stuff dressed up in dance clothes, but deep, deep ambient sounds booming on huge stacks. check out Toniutti & Chalk's "Tahta Tarla". or, for the other extreme (of totally processed sounds), Molten Salt Breeder Reactor's "Ultimate Ambience". is it intelligent? undoubtedly. is it music? yes. is it danceable? yes: not on the Dick Clark scale, but on another scale. you heard it here first. -- ---- Bryce Ryan ------------ AMBIANCE ----------- brycer@netcom.com ---- PC Bulletin: Henceforth, sentient computers would like to be known as "Silicon Intelligences."
