Terre Thaemlitz is one of the rare people I've met or corresponded ith involved in Electronic Music who actually has an agenda and can articulate it. As much as I admire and enjoy music created by some of the people who are, to put it charitably, post literate, I have to respect Terre's attempt to actually mean something. If you don't understand or enjoy reading his liner notes, don't read 'em. I haven't seen the record in question (which I'd snap up in a New York minute), so I can't speak to the particulars of his liner notes for it. But in many E-Mails Terre has struck me as someone who actually thinks about what his music means, to himself and perhaps to others. But I've never known him to talk out his ass about his music. He's deadly serious. ON NOW: My latest Goodwill Industries treasure, the Teac A4300 reel-to-reel recorder, playing my d&b remix of Sweet Honey in the Rock, which YOU CAN HEAR TOO: http://avalon.net/~sean/may27.mp3 -- now with more bass, and crisper beats!
