i see kent's point, being that for UR everything culminates in their bringing in new people, "graduating" the old guys, and generally keeping the cycle of music as the main focal point. of course im also a fan of people who use spectacle in their art as well, such as lee perry or sun ra. all i know about TG or psychick TV is that the stuff around their music always seemed more interesting than most of the actual music itself, which is fine and dandy really, but it keeps them from being inspirational to me outside of the really remedial appreciation i have for things underground and contrary. id much rather rock some coil, or some other old experimental/industrial stuff. tom
