Yep, I'm here, hh - very taken with the Staud already - waiting for the tricks to start, but finding the basic material beguiling....

Harpsichord nice, don't really 'get' the instrumental parts - they seem to be spoiling a perfectly nice harpsichord piece - and there were some nice moments with the electronics but I felt that overall they were a bit wasted.
Webern quite pretty.
Rushton didn't do it for me.
I'm enjoying the Mason but is that a synthesiser? Why?
