Re: [microsound] ORAL, Monoton, Christof Migone
I first heard Monoton in 1982 and was very impressed. I have never any of
his material available since then. So I'm very much looking forward to
hearing this. I saw Monoton live in Amsterdam in 1996. They were quite
interesting but didn't measure up to what I remember of the the early
material. I highly recommend this CD.
