Okay, I've been a silent observer of the list for a while, but I've got to defend some of these albums you're bashing, not for the people who've heard them and dislike them (because I can understand why) but for those who haven't heard them and might miss out. Some of my favorite albums of the Ambient Noise genre include Weird Little Boy & Pranzo Oltranzista. These albums aren't self-indulgent, atleast not in the way you'd think. They are an entirely different level of creative sound creation. These musicians are vacationing from the constrictions of melody and structure and expressing musical inspiration in a rudimentary and fundamental way. Creating 'sound' instead of music, which I think is highly underrated in today's music. This is the kind of music that doesn't just pull you along with catchy riffs or by manipulating your emotions, it works by painting images that stir the curiosity and confuse your eardrums. If you are one of the ones who like either of these albums I also recommend the albums by Death Ambient (on Tzadik) Naked City's Absinthe and the albums of Tribes Of Neurot. Okay.

How can you be so sure? If one of the musicians playing in Weird Little Boy is warning everyone of the crap hidden inside that Cd I'd be suspicious, to say the least. How can you know they're not laughing at those who have purchased their "mental diarrhea"? This

Death Ambient, particularly "Synaesthesia" is also among my Tzadik favorites. A great album of ambient soundscapes. I wouldn't put it at the same level as "Pranzo Oltranzista" or "Adult Themes for Voice". With the latter I don't get the feeling that there's actually something going on there. There are many ways to make noise, and Death Ambient is a very good one, imho. I can see why someone could be interested in those Patton solo efforts, but I can't share that interest. I can also see why someone could think that "Delirium Cordia" is just pretentious bullshit, but I love it. You can't please everybody.

It's kind of unfortunate, because the CD's not really *that* bad... Trey's comments have less to do with the CD itself, than a realisation he had while making it, that this isn't the kind of thing he likes doing. Which you can really appreciate, especially when you listen to something so amazingly orchestrated and arranged as 'Book M'...
