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.
