I have only heard one of his cassette releases, once, and several years back
so my impressions are pretty patchy. It was definitely very low-fi and very
concrete-y (ie. lots of found sounds mashed together). I'd thought it was
going to be a massive wall of noise, with everything rammed really loudly in
the front of the mix, but, well, it wasn't.
As has been said, this CD is supposed to be out of print. However, I do notice
that Cranium Records (who are in NZ) list it on their site, with a "we'll try
and find this for you" type note attached. That store is mainly focussed on
prog rock and so on, but does have some things more up this alley.
At any rate, if putting pen to paper seems stressful, you can email Cranium
and enquire. ;) IME the guy there is really good (whatever his taste in music
;) and a friend informs me he does heaps of overseas stuff.

It's funny reading comments about how unknown Omit is in his own country, as
if people have been hesitant to acknowledge his widely distributed efforts.
But, jeez, he lives just outside of a town of maybe 20 000 people, bunging out
home made cassettes of noise collages. As with everyone remotely associated
with the Corpus Hermeticum label, he's made a wilful attempt to avoid being
"discovered" here.
