Yes, that's a good idea.

Why? I could make another poll with two options: Partch and Neubauten and seeing how the last two times there were 7 votes total, it would be 4:3 for Partch with clutnuckle's vote. This is just a shortcut.

I'm just joking.

^Oh...I can't really tell. Were you joking when you said Partch was a moronic goofball? That's one of the reasons I'm glad we're gonna listen to him

. I'm curious to read your thoughts. Should be entertaining.

So, clutnuckle changed his vote and it's 4:3 for Harry Partch - Delusion of the Fury. That's on our plate this week.

This is a bit of a standard, but I'll suggest it anyway. It really showcases his unique, originally crafted instruments and the vagrancy theme throughout is actually very thought provoking.

I voted for Kollaps, but I like Partch. Should be fun to talk about.

No, but I have a tendency to overstate things. I am already familiar with this record though.

If it helps, watch the documentary on Youtube about him. It'll open up your mind to what he tried to accomplish with his works.

I think I've already seen that.

I guess he said they did because that was the one I ended up buying. Still mixed in with hundreds of other cassettes. I really don't know why I didn't get it all instead of almost none. I still have things that need to be rectified and that's one of them. Downloading a bunch of Branca.

I just wanted to correct this. The cassette I bought was Symphony No.1 (Tonal Plexus) and the guy I talked on the phone with was from ROIR. Who knows? Maybe it was Neil Cooper.

My vote goes to Gum. It sounds very interesting.
