this looks like a winner but does it sound like one? Anyone heard it yet? It's a little bit expensive to buy it without getting some opinions on it.

It's alright. Did it not come out some time ago. I like the Terrestrial Tones stuff.

i think there's a noise board thread on it ... i know that hstencil reviewed it at some point. it's an ok comp but it's not really worth more than the price of a regular cd. the book is ho-hum.
