Is "brotherhood of steel" a fallout reference?

shame you have lost contact, the album is the best thing
that happened to me in past year. seriously, its so fresh,
while its old, man, the music is really powerfull,
especially when created by such ppl like rotar+

i've had a copy of aileron for a while and love it, i
finally managed tro track down a copy in the UK and bought
it immeadiately, it comes in a kind of book with plenty of
nice pictures etc, there's also a couple of films on the
cd.

the foreword gives a little more info:
some times you have to travel around the world to find
what was in your own back yard (and sometimes you don't).
stumbling across the recordings of rotor+ was such a
journey, and a series of beautiful coincidences.
i had been attending a conference in osaka, japan
regarding the development of super-sensitive
three-dimensional microphone configurations and their use in
mapping an acoustical representation of space (see: 'journal
of the standing wave' vol. 193 p70). during the course of
the conference much talk was centered on the identification
of repeating acoustical patterns that could be used as
aspects of a complete algorithm for the way in which we hear
space.(KID: did you get all that ladies and gents?? wtf is
he talking about) while i was talking with a group of the
other conference attendees i was asked to accompany them for
dinner and a more informal discussion on patterned
acoustical space. (KID: this guy knows how to have a good
time!!)
while the dialogue played around the room i noticed that
the music (up until then muzak of the beatles music done on
xylophones) changed to something that i later found out was
the music of rotor+, ...and suprisingly this music came from
my own land of birth, new zealand.
excited i copied down a postal address from the well-worn
MD. a letter was written and posted with much anticipation.
arriving back in new zealand my mailbox was empty. i waited
and waited.
another 2 years went by before the music you are about to
hear arrived in my hands. (i had long before given up
recieving a reply to the numerous letters i had written). a
single DAT tape, a written manuscript and a selection of
photos and films.

CONT....

the RTCNZ has great pleasure in sharing these with you.
sound that frames space and the landscapes that inspired
them. i would also like to thank personally miss fiona jack
for her help editing and compiling this booklet, and kog
transmissions, our parent company for help in the production
of this CD.

charles douglas.
director of the radiophonics trading company of new
zealand.

anyways rotor+ has also released a couple of 12"s in new
zealand aswell, and he's also done some live gigs, i think
infact he did one in the UK.

rotar is the name of an autechre song. i think he should
pick a different name.

i think rotor+ is quite aesthetically fit.

yeah, i just made a mistake in thread title.

funny, coz i have some info's added to cd, and it contains
"fuul track titles" ( the Cd has 3 long tracks ) which goes
like this :

1. beginning - something to do while driving.
a. 17 dec 1921
b. Mt Cargill ...%
c. piano .1 (Awakino)
d. from a > e
e. piano .2 (making the most of minimal hearing)
f. BOC (everything you do is.....)
g. white/blue-black line/small dots

2. middle - thinking of changing the rectangle to a less
regular shape.
a. finally found the courage, finally found the love (2)
b. 174' 45.7' E 36' 51.5' S
c. box -|-s-| SH1 3am rm 4 (sha la la la la)

3. end - mapping the world
a. aileron (N2F1JF)
b. background environmental sounds
c. reel to reel
d. religious society of friends

weeird, and cool at the same time
