Re: Paul Dresher / Was Re: essential loop recordings

thanks Richard. you mentioned a couple of other albums featuring Paul's 
looping in the early 80's - Way of How and Are/Are. But I don't see them 
on 
Paul's discography. Are these still available anywhere? and if you are 
familiar with all of these, do you think those two are a better 
representation of his looping style of the time, or would "This Same 
Temple" be a better choice?
