Wait is a haunting album of stark piano and vocals with industrial-type guitar and bass and percussion. I don't think I've heard anything quite like this combination of influences and textures. Johnson's classically trained voice belongs in theatrical productions and you hear that here. His piano is laid bare at many points and you hear its harmonics singing; it's really quite beautiful. You have to give Wait your full attention. I love it.
This CD came to GAJOOB around 2003. I received A LOT of mail back in the day and couldn't get to all of it, but I'm still trying, for what it's worth. And this is one of those albums that make it worth while. The sound remains fresh for me, due to the interesting arrangements of acoustic guitars, cello and flute. Genji Nakano's songs have a happy spirit and paint pictures of characters I get to know through the lyrics. Drummer Larry Boodman propels these songs with both a driving rhythm and funk and a perfect lighter touch whenever it matters; always.
I'm discovering new music after it's prime with these boxes of unopened submissions. Four Way Free toured for a decade. You'll find a short live set at the Hard Rock Cafe linked here . It appears that three of the members are teachers. Cellist Peter McCafferey plays in the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Boodman runs a School of Rock in Huntington Beach. It seems music is still their gasoline for life's fire.
Wolfgang Dorninger of Monochrome Bleu, Josef K Noyce, The Smiling Buddhas will perform his entire catalog during a 24-hour streaming event from Sonic Sound Studio in Linz, Austria.
During the performance, NFTs of music and studio items will be created and made available.

REVIEW:
I highly recommend this volume of tracks collected by Poverty Electronics, a netlabel dedicated to experimental and electronic music of all kinds. It's a diverse collection of music from ambient electronic pieces to noise that plays well to my ears, always hungry for new directions. This one will take you there. Go get it at a price of your choosing. --Reviewed by Bryan Baker .

REVIEW:
This tape features some of Darrell's "....faves of the so-called underground." And a fine tape it is, with Al Perry, Lord Litter, John Bartles, Sister Ray, Don Campau and more. Overall, this has a tasty, raw bite to it, with everything from shout-it-out screamers to a wonderfully composed and executed instrumental by Perry. --Reviewed by Bryan Baker 4/1/1989.

REVIEW:
Sizemore self-financed the making of a thousand copies of this tape of found sound collage pieces, each with a sort of theme and has been handing them out to anyone who'll listen. Limited edition, full-color printed cover conveys an anti-media message and much of the tape inside expounds on that as well — a common take for collage artists. Some of the pieces tend to go a little too long, yet still manage to maintain focus. Highlights include a piece which collects various classic guitar riffs and couples them sexual juxtaposition. --Reviewed by Bryan Baker 7/17/1994.

NOTES:
New instrumental offering from Northern California home recording musician, Don Campau. No songs, no rock, no raging lead guitar. Although some beats , this is mainly a quieter album with keyboards and a kitchen sink, improvisational nature.Miniatures that are strung together. A tribute and hat tip to home tapers worldwide doing whatever they want with no concern for sales or business. Hard copy available with original art covers for $10 postpaid in the USA from campaudj@comcast.net please add $5 for international orders credits released September 23, 2021 Campau, all instruments.
REVIEW:
I was immediately interested in this new release by Don Campau since my own creative explorations are taking me in similar directions. The four tracks here are made up of short improvisational bits employing a wide variety of tones (guitar, flute, piano, synths, percussion, etc.). The first and last tracks are 15-minute plus pieces, however, they are comprised of short sections so the whole album shifts and flows by way of bursts of changing structures, sounds and styles. I enjoyed this album very much. --Reviewed by Bryan Baker .
