Coupla releases that complement Ohm quite well are from Ellipsis Arts: 'Orbitones, Spoon Harps & Bellowtones' and 'Gravikords, Whirlies & Pyrophones' (CD3610 & CD3630 respectively). They're anthologies of tracks featuring various experimental and early electronic instruments, and come packaged inside the back cover of nifty 96 page CD-sized hardcover books. -t- --- Timothy Mungenast <mungenast@earthlink.net> wrote: > Small world, yes.
