I'm almost entirely ignorant of Turnage's own music.  Presumbably it isn't
cloying or religious and doesn't include birdsong.  (I did hear "Drowned
Out" once on the radio, and found it unmemorable, but that might always
have been the performance or my mood at the time.) Does anyone have any
recommendations?
