Right, straight from the horse's mouth for you all, as Tom explained in the "Mixing It" interview ... Interviewer " Interesting title Tom, 'Music is Rotted One Note" sounds like a Shakespearian quote?" Tom - "What it relates to is a conversation I had with Sean from Autechre (which by the way, he pronounced Au teck er !), where basically I was expressing the fact that I kind of was a really big fan of yoghourt and cheese and stuff but really didn't like milk and Sean made the comparison of music being a "rotted" form of a single tone, or one note as it were ... I like the music but not the one note ... and cheese but not the milk ..." So there you have it folks, the mystery revealed ... and I knew that Tom's a veggie but obviously not a vegan! aless

Weird. I guess my interpretation was correct. (See post from several days ago regarding milk->cheese, grapes->wine...) So how does this album compare to _Hard Normal Daddy_, aside from the differences in the way it was recorded? --Mark __ <http://www.xnet.com/~mkolmar/BurningRome> <MPEG 3 & RealAudio tracks> October 19th: SENSELESS CD on Mindfield Records MindCD03 Cathartium 14

i still say the grammer is kind of jacked. maybe "Music is One Note Rotten". i just really hate the word "Rotted". sounds out of place anywhere. i guess he is just using it as verb, when it sounds better as an ajective.

but that is not what he is trying to say. the "Note" isn't a unit of messure. it is the original item that is being changed into the music. oh, what ever the fuk it is// ???л "having the potential to become a success, the only problem being who's idea of success i will become" ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

the fact of the matter is an (IDM) artist can name is/her record whatever the hell they want to. It would be the same thing as saying 'Squarepusher's drums really bug me, they just aren't right, they are all tweaked and off kilter'...well duh maybe, just maybe he wanted them that way, the same as he wanted his record to have a certain title...or maybe TJ wasn't thinking at all, and he's an illiterate fuck! Who cares! Really, there are much better thing to discuss here than incorrect grammar usage on album titles, it's just plain silly. This is my last post on the subject... peace nate On Wed, 14 Oct 1998, Alan R. Lucas wrote:
