Someone recorded it for me in England too, without the crappy real player sound. So hopefully I'll have that in a few days.

When the listen again file comes up, I'll re-record it without the "You've got mail!" bits.

It reminds me of the really beautiful air raid sirens that they sound here once a month.

When I was at U of North Texas, they'd sound an air raid siren as a test every once in a while and the sheer force of it was incredible. People would wince in pain. I had always intended to record it as something of a keepsake.

It's great how it starts off as an eerie textural soundmass and suddenly explodes into that string-plucking percussive interlude (so sick, I just love it).
The string work is Tony Conrad/Penderecki in scope and the playing is marvelous. That kind of dissonant thing---like they're playing totally out of tune, but they're really right there with it. It's perfect.
Jonny can't help his Romantic streak. Dissonance rarely sounds this beautiful.
