Oh, AND he shows up on Nick Drake's Bryter Layter, which is just another awesome feather in his cap.

The album of his most similar to Paris 1919 is probably Vintage Violence, the album before it, which is also very pretty, and excellent too. However, I'd really suggest that your next purchase is The Island Years. It's a double CD which has his next 3, and to me best, albums on it, with some bonus stuff. More narrowly, the first of those, Fear, is THE one to check out.

It's just stupidly good. I have the original wooden box set, and it's my singly most treasured music item probably. If you have the Tony Conrad Early Minimalism set that TOE also put out then it's in a similar vein, but even better (and much more varied). Sun Blindness Music is just the first, and probably best disc of that. They actually just repressed that on it's own I think. They had a few copies in my local shop. If so, BUY IT NOW!
