Oh yes, the Tone Language cd, Patience Is The Key, is wonderful
stuff. to me it's reminiscent of the early, more melodic oval &
microstoria sound. the album was produced with the help of ichiro
taniguchi and kenj taniguchi (better known as reflection from the
Clear label). If you enjoy the Tone Language stuff i highly recommend
you check out the other Lee Norris ambient guise Nacht Plank. He did
a full Nacht Plank album back in 1999 on Microwave (the Staalplaat
cdr sublabel) called '1-12' and last year Lee released another Nacht
Plank album with the help of Hem (kamal joory aka geiom) on Small
Medium (the Neo Ouija cdr sublabel). Both of these Nacht Plank
releases are in the vein of the Tone Language cd and are highly
recommended. One more release in that vein would be the Hem cdr on
the Microwave label called 'See Inlay Card for Details.' I had
reviews of the Tone Language and first Nacht Plank cds but i cant
seem to find them at the moment. but here is a small review of the
nacht plank + hem cd. Hope this helps!
. Nacht Plank + Hem: s/t cdr (Small Medium)
The first collaborative cd between Lee Norris (Nacht Plank &
Metamatics), and Jamal Koory (Hem & Geiom) produces 12 tracks of
superbly etheral melodic glitchtronica not unlike the Tone Language
cd on Staalplaat, the Tom Steinle tracks on the Tom label, or
Diskont94-era Oval. Both Nacht Plank and Hem had solo cds out on the
Microwave label previous to this collaboration, but neither solo
effort had the combined warmth and beauty that this one does. Highly
recommended but hurry because this release is supposedly limited to
250 copies. Small Medium indeed!
