Well, yeah all that, but you know, he was also incredibly good ;) you make it sound like he is famous for everything other than his music, i dont think thats true. most people i know into electronica where blown away with didgeridoo and the other early stuff. it was incredibly exciting stuff to hear, if you like him or not, i think he has really opened a lot of doors and pushed electronica music into the mainstream as much as anyone. "nme, melody maker etc hadn't seen any techno musician do what he did before " because no one else had ;) cheers, Syntax. http://electronicbrain.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
