Ahh, thanks for bringing Chris Watson up. The label I used to manage, Asphodel (Doug spent an afternoon in our late HQ) hosted a surround sound installation of Watson, in its former studio space.

It was totally amazing. His material consisted of recordings of storms in the North Sea. My wife and I left the show completely stunned. It changed the way we thought about sound, and its communicative possibilities.

> Joel, if that's your thing, seek out Chris Watson's work. You may remember him from Cabaret Voltaire in the early 1980s. My favourite of his is a recording of glaciers shifting, which he turns into a troubling, emotional piece of work, believe it or not.

Talking of whom, one of the more better (and more interesting) releases this year is Black Dog's Music for Real Airports, a reposte to Eno's Music for Airports.
