Comment:

Drums/percussion are arguably the lead instrument on all tracks. A few tracks have nothing but drums. Two songs only, plus two chants (6 and 14); the rest are instrumental. The structure is loose, cloudy. "Dondestan" (revisited) fades out soon after the drums stop; "Strawberry Fields Forever" is the old trick: Lennon sings to a breakbeat! (Created from the Magical Mystery Tour version with Audacity.) The first half of this CD is properly ambient; it almost could fit in that category. World music, though, during the times we all live in the same world.

This is amazing, would love to hear it. That 7-12 stretch looks spectacular.

Looks great, I'd love to hear it, too. Great variety of music you've got under that percussive banner. By way of shameless self promotion,
this was built on a similar premise and might interest you.

Brilliant. Love the Graves/Winant bookends and, of course, Wyatt especially.
