David Torn loop CDs

okay, talking about DoorX and Torn's other CDs - maybe not everyone on the
list is aware of Torn's awesome loop CDs 'Tonal Textures' and 'Pandora's
Toolbox'. 

The Tonal Textures cover says: 

>Unusual sonic landscapes and unique 
>atmospheres for use as musical 
>backgrounds in multi-media, 
>film scoring, composition, 
>and music production.

About Pandora's Toolbox, Torn wrote,

>'pandora' is a bit different:

>efficiently for sampling-peoples.

The problem with these 2 CDs is that they're not regular audio CDs
(although they can be played on regular CD players) but supposed to be
sample CDs - they are available from Q-Up Arts (check their website) for a
*very* high price which kept me from buying Pandora's Toolbox, but I spent
the money for Tonal Textures because Torn played it before his 'Slipping
over God' solo concert and I immediately fell in love with it. Very
beautiful, you'll sure like it if you are into, say, Enoesque atmospheres.
Definitely recommended stuff.
