Kassel Jaeger - ee[nd] (2007)

Kassel Jaeger is the pseudonym of a Parisian composer and member of GRM, or so he or she claims. His identity remains a mystery. This CD-R, released in 2007 on the Belgian Mystery Sea label, is a typical example of the kind of stuff they release: ambient, droney, processed field recordings, musique concrète, limited to 100 copies. In 2010 two new CD releases followed, 'Lignes d'erre & randons' (Unfathomless, the new Mystery Sea sister label) and 'Aerae' on Senufo, these too both very limited editions. Get this one first.

Stefano Pilia - The 1 Season (2004)

Some lovely drones this time from Stefano Pilia from Bologna. He is also in Medves and Glow Kids, and (a bit better known, I think) in 3/4HadBeenEliminated, who went from eai to something a bit poppier these days if I remember correctly (I should re-listen to that myself). He also continues to release solo albums on labels such as Last Visible Dog, Sedimental and even Die Schachtel, but this, his debut, was released as a limited edition (150 copies) black CDr on Time-Lag in early 2005. Pilia is credited here with 'guitars, microphones, tape noise, feedback, wind doublebass, cymbals'. Who played the rain is not mentioned.
Long gone, of course (strangely, the label doesn't even mention it among their OOP releases). But thanks to the interwebs, still among us.
