Many artists have said similar and I have found I'm find I'm drawn to artists who think that way whether any particular piece they create interests me or not.

he experiments a ton and also can just make a little pop record that isn't bad. He has produced or worked on a bunch of records I love, though even though I love the Stereo Lab records he and John McEntire work on kinda have a John and Jim stank on them that gets a little thick. they still rule. Sound Dust and Cobra/phases... sound great. Good musician. Not for everyone but not crap by any means.

This thread got me to revisit Bad Timing (NC) and there's this backwards piano part that had me thinking "where have I heard that before??". I eventually remembered there's an almost identical 'trick' used on the first half of Sound Dust. Ah well.. if you work on enough stuff that eventually happens!

Bad timing is may favorite JO Solo record. It's a great chill record to put on to read to, That is some NPR ass record reviewing right there.

This is a really good read

God damn. I'm just a casual fan of O'Rourke (the forum turned me on to him around about his The Visitor album), and I'm about three years older than he, but almost every thing he was crazy about growing up I was into, as well. Genesis, early Jan Garbarek and ECM, Derek Bailey, Performance, serial music...had the rest of my life been a little different, maybe I wouldn't be merely a mortician today.

That Tone Glow interview is fantastic. I have revisited it many times.

He did two interviews on The Samuel Andreyev Podcast that I highly, highly recommend.

When it first came out I had a copy of Catholic Boy - the cover photo I always thought was funny/cool. Something I came across a while ago was FANG doing some backyard gig in Oakland, and they covered People Who Died, and rocked it.

Major, as in Major from before?
