The title is Barrage and the label is A Planet Of Loose Change

The address given on the CD is

205 1/2 Park Ave.
Long Beach, CA 90803-1748

John's email is jstevens@ucsd.edu 

I listened to the CD again.  When I examined John's setup at the live show,
he had two or three full racks of gear.  The show took place before the 
release
of the Jam Man or the Oberheim Echoplex so I don't know what he was using 
for
looping.  I would say the music has more in common with Fred Frith than 
with
Robert Fripp; lots of feedback and "industrial" type sounds (jackhammers,
sirens, etc.) by manipulating his guitar and effects in certain ways.
