The only artist I know that has worked regularly with JI is Robert Rich,
likely dismissed by many 'here' (I see this is posted to idm-list as well
as amb) as New Age fluff or Music to Sleepwalk To. I've always found
listening to albums on which JI is used like an experience with 'exotica'
(and now I look at e.g. <
http://www.justintonation.net/jistore.html> I can
see why - Harry Partch and Lou Harrison, for example, were practitioners).
Also if you've heard gamelan, it feels sort of similar. Reality does not
cave in, nothing fucked up happens, but I know some do find it a bit queasy.
