I don't own three of his albums only to not like him myself. I just have an oddball sense of humor, especially when I'm stressed out in my regular life.
Another composer that comes to mind is Yoko Kanno, a Japanese lady who has done a number of very high-quality soundtracks for various anime. _________________ Darren Landrum

And "My Life in the Bush of Ghost" (with Brian Eno) should have been pretty non-pop at the time, although it pioneered the kind of sampling stuff that has been heard in a lot of mainstream stuff later on.

Kinda related, but an earlier work by someone else is this:
It´s from Holger Czukay´s Movies LP. I don´y know who made that movie, but it kinda suits the piece in Czukay kinda way.
I really liked "My Life in the Bush of Ghost", but compared to Holger´s work on "Movies" it was pretty bleak. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"
