Gen Ken Montgomery, Pondfloorsample (disc 1, 2xCD)

I remember a story that once when Gen Ken was teaching a class, he mentioned that he'd run the first sound art gallery in New York, Generator. One of the students seemed confused, because it did not appear in Alan Licht's sound art book. Gen Ken's made some important, if obviously overlooked, contributions to NYC, and it's nice to see him documented in this double CD retrospective on XI from 2002. Pondfloorsample is quite friendly given the mechanical sounds from which much of it was assembled. I'd have preferred to soften the harsh highs a tiny bit in mastering, but I'm picky that way.
