I have this double-CD. Track #1 (featuring Jon Hassel) on Dream Machinery
is magnificent. The second CD, Heavy Lids, is a masterpiece. I urge
everyone to check it out...you won't regret it. Have also been listening to
some of Broaderick's cynical ambient/noise/isolationism work as FINAL. I'm
not as impressed by this though, but alot of the sounds/noises are actually
heavily treated guitars, so these cd's may be of interest to some of you.
Don't know if they're available in the US though (J. Broaderick is from
Birmingham, England). They're on some obscure label I can't remember the
name of, but I can check it out if you want me to. Later,
