Re: More recent Torn

[Yoshi matsumoto <liminal@st.rim.or.jp>]

The two releases I found most attracted by from the Alchemy catalog are 
Robby Aceto's "Code" and "Silent Extinction Beyond the Zero" by Mr. 
Durant himself.  

I do agree, I very much enjoy DT's recent efforts compared to his earlier 
works.  

One work I'm endlessly fond of is Mark Isham's soundtrack to "Beast", 
where DT's sounds really shine.

I do wonder what this album sounds like...?

Yes, I found the mix unsatifying for the same reason.  "Gorgeous", 
though, is definitely the right word for the album as a whole...
