Lord, don't tell me that someone actually believed the above illusion/allusion! As much as I refrain from the use of emoticons, one of those damn smileys would have been appropriate alongside the vulgarly cast aspersion above. Calling a (brewing) philosopher a lawyer is worse than telling an ambient composer that he's only in it for the $, not that anyone would ever imply such a thing. I, of course, only went into philosophy to meet women. So, let's be clear, and J. Martin, please retract your unfortunate joke, before my reputation is sullied in unfortunate ways (I can think of much more pleasant ways to sully my questionable reputation): Zenon M. Feszczak Not a lawyer No interest in copyright No relation to Dead Can Dance No relation to 4AD Philosopher ex nihilo Ambient Noizemaker People's Poet P.S. Lisa Gerrard, of the oft-sampled Dead Can Dance, herself commented in a recent FutureMusic interview that she didn't mind people sampling their music. So there you have it. Whatever "it" is. P.P.S. The true subtext of my question is as silly as it is silly. After the DCD show, I mentioned to my girlfriend in an offhand way that there are many songs in the ambient/electronic/idm world that lift rhythms from DCD. I made the even more extravagant claim that I have at least four of these records in my collection. The following day, painfully intelligent lass that she is, she asked me to spin some of the aforementioned records. Now I'm sunk. I don't remember which tracks have these samples. I thought there was some connection to FSOL/Delerium/Synaesthesia, but I couldn't remember the exact tracks at the spur of the moment. Hence I called upon the Net-Oracle to save my romantic credibility. And instead of receiving the desperately (bu not serious) needed assistance, I've been called a lawyer. Why I oughta... P.P.S. Never thought you'd find an Adam Ant reference on this list, but one has to throw a wrench in the works once in a while, like that blinded Prague clockmaker.

I spoke to Rhys Fulber of Front Line Assembly last May. At the time he was attempting have Lisa sing on the new Delerium album scheduled for release on Nettwerk some time this Winter. From what I know now, she was unable to personally contribute in the studio, but has sent some recordings to Rhys for the production.

Relax, I would never dream of placing a philosopher in the same category as a lawyer.
