Robert Miles/Trilok Gurtu: miles _ gurtu '04

Oh yeah! It's surprising that R.Miles doesn't get more attention ... has something to do with the looming shadow of Fripp, me thinks.

Some amazing dynamics on that KP. Need to do more digging on both of them. That was a gift from friend, prior I'd not heard either to my knowledge. Though from the sound I'd say you're assessment is spot on.

Here's one that should test those Vapors just fine, and I'd suspect you have it.........

Ralph Towner: Diary '74
