1015.2...DSSDEV::HALLGRIMSSONThe piano has been thinking...Wed Nov 18 1987 18:3120
    Steve Roach: Empetus
    Roach, Braheny, (third name escapes me): Western Spaces
    Michael Hoenig: Xcept one (Hoenig played with Tangerine Dream long ago)
    Michael Hoenig: Departure from the Northern Wasteland
    David Torn: Cloud about Mercury (radical MIDI guitar)
    Neil Nappe: July (Very Roland sounding...)
    Gary Hughes: Sacred Cities (DX, sampling, good stuff)
    
    Oops, these may not be digital source tapes.  Why do you
    care about this, anyway?  All of the stuff on Private Music
    is direct-to-digital.  The first Patrick O'Hearn, and Sanford Ponder
    discs are quite spectacular due to the recording quality and the
    "house Fairlight," but creativity can get you the same impact for
    a reasonable budget.  Check out the CD of "Switched-on Bach."  The
    equipment used was priceless at the time, and valueless now, but
    there is much timeless value in what was done with it--and it's
    a flawless analog recording.
