Re: Release Announcement - Akustik Kies: "Reflexiv Hören"



Echoing some of Sylvain here, the release Rainer is grand.  Listened to 
mainly last night on tip home and will continue on my morning communicate. 
 One of the things i love in addition to being the R man is continuing in 
a direction withe the piano/keyboard, is the way some of the reverse sweep 
delays are mixed with the live piano voicings.  So far a very creatively 
cool release.
