People have said (on more than one occasion) things about bill laswell which would tend to make me shy away from his stuff. And it isn't that I don't like it, it's that I'm curious what others think. I am interested in finding more about collaborations (with or without a capital C). He seems to be a competent musician, and I do realize now that my question was a mite bit silly.. de-lurking pains perhaps.. --brett On Thu, 31 July 1997, at 11:21:29, tweibrecht@juno.com wrote:
