  1. Nice LP. I enjoyed the more abstract efforts like the 2nd half of #1 Origin and #3 Abyss. Apparently Garvey founded a robot theatre company called Theatre Concrete in San Francisco, and composes music for the Omnicircus company's multimedia live shows. Thanks for sharing something new on the internet.

  4. I just discovered your blog ... T.H.X.! This Heat! Other Music! ... More like Insanity Muffins! Looking forward to checking some of these out.

    Do you, by any chance, have the other release from Other Music called "Prime Numbers." If so, I would greatly appreciate your posting it.

    Regardless, thanks a million.
