Hi Andre. I don’t really care for your work either so the feeling is mutual. Feel free to not add me to your history section. But I was there. Fripp once took me aside and told me that I could play things Adrian Belew couldn’t play in his wildest dreams. I respect his opinion a bit more than yours. Here are about 500 e-mails from people who disagree with you and loved my work. http://home.cinci.rr.com/terryblankenship/trancegodzguestbook.html Granted my early CDs from 1985 did not sell that well (only about 5000 copies each), so they did not have a big impact on millions of people. I can see where that would rule me out. At the time I recorded these I had not heard anyone else use an e-bow for looping. Fripp didn’t use one at the time. I hadn’t heard anyone else doing polyrhytmic acoustic guitar looping. The techniques I used are completely irrelevant. Its the resulting music that matters. Was the music innovative for the time? I think it was. You have the right to disagree. Here are a couple of press reviews form 1985 for my “Daemon” lp. Press reviews: OPTION MAGAZINE - "Daemon" is an amazing electric guitar tour-de-force, superbly composed, recorded, and performed. SOUND CHOICE - "Daemon" is a one man band release that is the finest indy cd that I've had the pleasure to review. A remarkably well performed and composed collection that showcase an original artist and his mastery of the technology." _________________________________________________________ Alternative Rhythms -features drum and keyboard loops, and guitar (from my Daemon lp in 1985.) http://www.mp3.com.au/track.asp?id=4311 _________________________________________________________ Dissociation - features guitar loops, drum loops in 5/4 over 4/4, and guitar solos.
