The Neuromancers. Music Inspired by William Gibson's Universe
*200 copies limited edition.* The soundtrack of a future in flux. As the father of cyberpunk, William Gibson imagined a world where technology and society collide, blurring the boundaries between human and machine, individual and system.

Subdivisions
*200 copies limited edition.* What sets 400 Lonely Things apart is its ability to turn seemingly mundane or discarded sonic artifacts into evocative, almost cinematic experiences.

12²
1998 release ** "Wendy Mae Chambers (b 1953) is known for the scope and originality of her works, typified by large and unusual instrumental combinations.

The last movement is 4'33" of lots of sound (in tribute to John Cage's 4'33" of silence).

Devils On Drums (From The Sado-Island / Japan)
1986 release ** "Ondekoza (鬼太鼓座, Ondekoza) ("demon drum group"), sometimes referred to as "Za Ondekoza", is a Japanese troupe specializing in taiko drumming.
