Yes - this thread had already made me think of "Poppy Nogood" and I pulled out the CD and have listened to it twice while catching up on my e-mail. A fine piece of primal looping/long delay work. I think I'll play it between sets at the Planet Of The Loops show this Tuesday at The Ambient Ping (free for those in the Toronto area). http://www.theambientping.com/ Cheers, Scott M2 http://www.dreamSTATE.to ambientelectronicsoundscapes http://www.mp3.com/dreamSTATE
