Uh-oh, that time of night that time of dubious sobriety. Promise to not delete this entry but the cold light of day may speak otherwise-
Recent events remind me of the time I read that the principle mover flatly objected to the idea of people reviewing his work. Imagine that. People will listen to the shit, and then gasp be inclined to share their impressions. Naughty naughty.
In my defense (too little and too late I'll admit), there was only that one time, and only that one disc. Still, obviously well out of bounds. So here it is, again, in a format hopefully more acceptable to the principle mover:

OK, you can't control noise - noise tends to control you - but convincingly faking it is no mean feat.

All joking aside, the above quoted was funny to me in context. This was posted to the alt.noise forum twenty-some years ago (un-redacted, but no better for it if I say so myself.). All the stuff about control was based purely on impressions gleaned from the sounds (okay, Music For Bondage 2 had also recently come out.)
