An eight-CD set of brilliant observations, from the humorous to the speculative to the heart-filling.
Cage speaks of lives and notions of the well-known -
B. Fuller,
Thoreau, the Vietnam War,
Meister Eckhart,
Schoenberg, being crammed in a subway car and odd confrontations with airplane employees ; of unique and everyday events--unemployment, free worldwide commnications, dads and moms, electric clothing, workable anarchy. The typography determines the stereo distribution and level of
Cage's voice, the effect of someone talking inside your head, disembodied. (The printed texts additionally used color changes to parallel this effect.) Some of the text, pictures of
Cage reading and the clean water supply, and chronologies accompany the discs. ~ "Blue" Gene Tyranny
