Re: [313] Mellow Mills (liner note dribble)
Who is R. Buckminster Fuller? Never heard of him? I think the real problem is that he has read a bit of R. Buckminster Fuller, and has tried to emulate Fuller's very peculiar way of expressing himself. If you can get your head around where he is coming from, Fullers style is not dribble at all, in fact it is probably more effective and accurate than standard english. I would imagine that Mills picked up his fancy for Fuller during his university days as an architecture student. The problem comes when a hip-hop dj from Detroit tries to sound like a Harvard educated polymath and philosopher...heavy on form, not much substance. take care, mt
Re: [313] Mellow Mills (liner note dribble)
re: jeffs liner notes on his records: am I the only person that thinks its all total dribble? I mean, really! I have to agree that some of it is a bit laboured - esp. some of the stuff on the axis site which i looked at recently. I didn't need notes to understand waveform 3, say. On the other hand he's expressing himself and he's asking questions which is the important thing I guess. I have some jazz cds which have some laboured liner notes too - some of which are by the artist.. I haven't heard much since From the 21st. [EMAIL PROTECTED] on that is pretty cool. chris

re: jeffs liner notes on his records: am I the only person that thinks its all total dribble? I mean, really! no I definately think its dribble, have you read the lifelike compilation notes? *sheesh* If he wants us to know about him, why doesn't he just talk a bit about his life, his family etc etc All this intellectualising gives no insight into him except to say he's a bit full of it.
