dave, youre my man but this is nonsense. making noise is just that: making noise. its not music. i own noise records. im not against noise. but its not the same game as making music. music DOES come with meaning and feeling. thats the whole point. without it, you could just listen to random sounds around you and feel as satisfied as if you just listened to a record. and since thats not the case, theyre not the same. tom
