Hey Bryan,

Thanks, I've listened to the Maher Shalal CD (Blues Du Jour)
It's not bad, I think it'll need a few more listens! Especially
the tracks where they are stumbling around barely able to play.

The Kasumasa CD is fantastic, really beautiful and elegant with
amazing processed vocal sounds and samples. I haven't heard the
first two though, I had a look and can't see anywhere obvious
where I could purchase them, if you know anywhere that stocks
them please let me know.

I got my two Tomoe Shinohara CDs yesterday, (Megaphone Speaks/
Dream & Machine) I had a listen to the former this morning and
it sounds really good on first listen, quite spacey and odd with
some pretty interesting chord sequences going on too.

Does anyone know anything about her?

I spied a copy of Cartoom! by Plus Tech Squeeze Box in HMV
yesterday, they want £27, it is a Japanese import with Obi
and all that but I'm really torn becuase I want the album on
cd but 27 quid is such a lot for one cd.

Crawford...
