yes, Mr. Brinkmann definitely has his ways with the razor :)He goes into
this indepth in the interview with him up on
http://www.globalserve.net/~cognition  It was fascinating
(on my part, at least ;) ) speaking with him about his scalpel-wielding.
Funny, thing:  I was playing a Brinkmann track on vinyl on
my radio show and the guy after me, when I explained about
Brinkmann using razors and the like to literally *carve* his sounds,
got all worried that the needle that had just played a Brinkmann
record was going to be all screwed up and he wouldn't be able
to use that turntable (that had just played a Brinkmann record)
during his show!  Andrew
