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:

and crisper beats!
