You know, right at this minute, I'm listening to a 1999 cassette by Canis
Minor (a band that played at Strange Daze '99) entitled "Humans are an Ant
Farm" and I've been thinking about how much it sounds like Ash Ra Tempel.
It's only two guys, one on keyboards and the other mainly on Chapman stick
(which often times sounds like a guitar)...but there's lots of interesting
stuff going on here.
