hey, nice - 

i was going to retrofit an email i sent elsewhere last night for msound
consumption, but you've given me a tidy opening, thanks ;)

 - Subject: [tumor]  "Drifting enough to lull you to sleep, scary enough to wake
 - you up."

...copy for the new negru voda cd, found in the latest malignant catalogue.

what a great description.  some of my most vivid musical experiences occur
during the collective hour or two spent hanging around sleep's door (when
my "compositional" mind is most active as well, what a drag) at night or
before waking fully in the morning.  i remember going to sleep back in high
school to the first suicide album, awakened and paralysed by alan vega's
shrieks in "frankie teardrop (which really forces a fugue-state with that
insistent pulse - i've always meant to investigate consciousness-altering
musics and their methods - repetition, deliberate frequency-tweaks and all
that)".  i looked at the clock radio and the digits were melting.

so very traumatic.

so, anything else along those lines y'all'd recommend?
