DAVID BEHRMAN: "On The Other Ocean / Figure In A Clearing" (Lovely):: On Discreet Music and the Fripp collaborations, Eno taught me to appreciate this kind of semi-improvised, semi-electric, semi-minimal trance and/or background music, but I think Behrman, a Soho/California composer who uses computers for chance input and builds his own synthesizers, does it better.
