Two recent purchases (FSOL vs. Shamen & Dreamfish-thanks Don!) have
Terrence McKenna's voice babbling over what would otherwise be
perfectly good music. I don't understand why artists would
ruin their work with his smarmy voice (sorry Negativeland, but
Casey Kasem would be a significant improvement over Terrence).
I can think of many people who would sound much better and
would have many more interesting things to say (Laurie
Anderson, William Boroughs, Gil Scott Heron...). I don't
get it. Why do so many idm artists use his voice? Or
am I the only one that finds him completely annoying?
I'd rather have loads of samples or bleeps ala early
Orb or FSOL than TM.
