On it DT's mixes almost make it sound as if JB
had been taking EDP lessons from our own estimable Mr. Andre LaFosse
himself. This is very exciting development.....thus spake ted

ted.....this scares me.....if i gave a monkey a guitar and dowloaded the sounds into a computer then i could also make him sound like (you fill in the blanks).....what andre does is "live".....i liked much about david's OHA but i came away thinkin "where's the beef" i haven't heard any other music by david but when i listened to OHA i came away wanting to hear some straight ahead "guitar playing" rather than some computer machinations.....when asked "DO you feel technology has taken people closer to, or further away from, the music?" jeff beck answered "i think it takes them into murky areas. im feeling the pinch myself, because there's so many things you can do to correct and drastically alter the course of what you thought you had. sometimes the machines tell you better, and sometimes they lead you up and down. and that enables people who haven't any talent to make great sounding records. there's a plethora of bands that sound fantastic, and they are no really doing it.".....michael (a luddite looper (aliterative loop content) who is right now slipping into his asbestos undies)
