Pete Erlich (aka gretta) and Jimmy Johnson have an ambient/triphop
project named 'grain'.
http://home.pacbell.net/grain/
I'm not sure where all they have had releases but I've got one on
'domestic' and an LP on another label.
The strange thing about this project is that the two members live in
different cities and colaborate via the net. Pete lives here in LA and
Jimmy keeps moving around (SF,LA,UK). I don't think they've done
anything in the last year or two but I might be wrong.
They've also put out stuff on the 'bottomheavy' label as 'stepdisk'.
Not the same 'grain' as on fat cat but good none the less.
bdork.
