The copy of _ABoD_ i borrowed from Mark Semich at KaTemas and *still* haven't returned (the Obelisk edition with KaTe on the cover...) lists John Lennon as also being inspired... anyone know if he wrote a song about it? in the mood to mess your head around, try listening to "Cloudbusting" and "Birdland" consecutively... and while we are on the subject of Reich-inspired music, let us not forget Hawkwind's "Orgone Accumulator"!!!!!! -greg -- gb10@gte.com -- quark, strangeness, and charm!
