Yes! And though I still haven't listened to any of these, I gather Wyanski has done his own "loungecore" arrangements of the pieces. 8) Reviews elsewhere are quite enthusiastic—even from the Arnold Schönberg Center!

Apparently Schönberg was experimenting with a new method of composition using typewriters from which all the keys save twelve had been removed, and a number of monkeys ;) .

I had heard that this was hard to come by.  I bought a large bottle of it some time ago and don't use it often so it hasn't been a problem for me.  Sounds like you use it fairly often so I'm happy for you and others.  :)

Every day with breakfast - when I have it.  It's been unavailable locally since February.  These were found in the college town where my daughter lives.
