No, honestly, it was our drum machine (a Kawai R-100 for all of the 
records) hiding; we just wanted the drink tickets and hid behind our 
smoke machine.  The Kawai got all the groupies, but it still gets 
insecure and upset with "real drummer" accusations, so I will try not 
to let it see this post, despite its position above my monitor at the 
moment.

Well, past the silliness, the Kodama compilation "Across the Cell 
Wall" has just been on my stereo and had much in the micro way to 
offer, as well as surprising me with some uncharacteristically quiet 
and atmospheric work by its contributors; the long Twerk piece at the 
center of the album with the barest of distant clicks for rhythm was 
certainly a highlight of my first listen.

And then I wonder if any here might have comments about the new CD by 
Tomas Jirku on Force Inc.

np - "Invisible Soundtracks - Macro 1" (Leaf compilation)
