Title: Why I'm starting to loath news paper music critics

Hey Kris!

Sounds like he didn't think it through before typing the review.

As for the lack of crowd noise (a la Brook's "Live at the Aquarium"), Lou Reed's "Rock 'n' Roll Animal" was all either very close miked or DI... but obviously the cheering crowd didn't make it to tape, so they had to import applause from...get this...a John Denver record!

Maybe you should try that (LOL)!

Seriously, you have a great disc, and everything of yours that I've heard is VERY melodic.

But not everybody is going to "get" what we do... not even folks we think are simpatico.

Your Pal,

Tim

Subject: Why I'm starting to loath news paper music critics

Sorry to vent and display my artistic insecurity and defensiveness with my fellow looping comrades,
but I just have to share this. I guess I'm feeling alone in a world of non-improvisational dominant music.
This is why I'm starting to loath news paper music critics more and more. I wrote this email tonight and
posted it on my website:

I'm starting to feel like Robert Fripp with my strung out and pedantic verbiage. Take this as you will,
but this guy pissed me off, and it will probably make me never submit a CD to a news paper ever again,
unless it has Britney Spears singing lead on it in the nude, with Paris Hilton on cello, and Pamela
Anderson on maracas (in cut-time).  I probably over-reacted...oh well, such is the life of an obsessive-compulsive.
