it was sumed up perfectly in a review I saw, something to the effect of... "why would anyone want to turn John Cage into something that sounds like a soundtrack for a Lifetime Network movie about cancer" I actually don't mind some of William Orbit's early stuff, but thank you I'll stick to listening to Cage.... I mean c'mon if Yanni had done this it wouldn't be so exciting, but because it's something done by someone relativly hip in the pop world all of a sudden it's revolutinary composer type hype. Jeff
