Another cheapy - i bought this because i've got 'The Whole' by Jon Mueller which is a really good bit of music with both ambient and rhythmic qualities (i know, a contradiction in terms, but that's pretty much what it is). The Jeph Jerman (no, me neither....) is called 'Four track recording using driftwood' and sounds like he has picked up a load of driftwood and recorded himself throwing it down some stairs. I can only guess that he used the other 3 tracks for recording the residual silence. The Jon Mueller side sounds like a kettle drum hit once, slowed down and then repeated a couple of times. Unlikely to win the mercury music prize but i'm glad i've got this - if only to say "look, i've got a recording of someone throwing driftwood down some stairs" and then pretending that i really rate it. That sort of thing really pisses people off.
