New David Toop?



Not sure if it´s microsound or not (I´m guessing it isn´t ;), but has
anyone heard David Toop´s latest, "37th Floor at Sunset" (Sub Rosa)?

The descriptons sound very intrigueing -- in Toop´s own words: "In his
novel, High
Rise, J.G. Ballard described the subtle relationship of an apartment
block's nervous system to the disintegrating ecology of the mini-society
of its inhabitants. Apartment blocks look much the same, whether in
China or the suburbs of Paris, yet the lives within them are very
different. The sounds of lift shafts, ventilation and heating systems,
the murmurs of human activity, radio and television, have a universality
that becomes specific only in the finest details, a moment in time at
the right place, maybe through the walls of the 37th floor at sunset."
-- but they always do, don´t they.
