Members of the Press: Please stop fluffing up interviews and articles with links to unauthorized uploads in YouTube and SoundCloud. It is unhelpful to me, pandering to your readers (in effect constructing the impatience for text-based content you fear they have), and reveals your own lack of research into your subject. For more reasons why, read this. If you still insist on inserting audio clips, click on the Soundfiles link accessible through the left navigation bar on every page of this website, tell your web designer to "View Source" and link in the relevant MP3 files. If you still have questions, contact me.

Halcyonline - Albert Freeman, "Terre Thaemlitz "Soulnessless" Performed at Issue Project Room", June 14, 2011.

DJ Sprinkles "Midtown 120 Blues" is the best album of 2009 because it makes us wonder if other producers - hell, other people - were as consistently brave as Thaemlitz, what this world indeed would be coming to.
Resident Advisor - Staff Poll, December 16 2009.

Thaemlitz's [piano] playing works like Nina Simone's, opening up between jazz and modern classical a huge harmonic space in which to articulate complex emotions.

From the Imaginary Landscapes of John Cage through Walter/Wendy Carlos, Throbbing Gristle, Sylvester, and Patrick Cowley to the contemporary transgendered interventions of Terre Thaemlitz and Matmos' digital reshaping of the world, electronic music has been used as a vehicle to express sexual transgression, as a way of transforming society.
Peter Shapiro, Turn the Beat Around: The Secret History of Disco, NY: Faber and Faber, Inc., 2005, p.111.

Terre Thaemlitz is looking through things as if they were made of glass, seeing all the light reflections and loving them more than the glass object as a whole.
Felix Kubin, December 2005.

The audio and video track "Between Empathy and Sympathy is Time (Apartheid)" by Terre Thaemlitz from the album "Lovebomb" is definitely the first, very sublime Protestsong of the 21st Century.
Nicolas Siepen, B-Books, September 2005.

We were all very impressed by Terre Thaemlitz, who is probably one of the best musicians I ever worked with - including studio-mixing of acoustic instruments.
Reinhold Friedl of Zeitkratzer, interviewed by Rui Eduardo Paes, January 2003.

酸鼻極まるこの凄惨な世界でテーリ・テムリッツは透明の梅毒をもって確実に、そして着実に現行の真実を糾弾し変革の必要性を促している。

...and still Terre's most cherished review after all these years:
Terre Thaemlitz: Tranquilizer (Instinct Ambient) Powerful album from this Dublin native. The controversy generated by her appearance on Saturday Night Live in 1992, where she tore up a picture of the Pope, has clearly effected her songwriting. Her usually lighthearted lyrics have been replaced by a darker, even cynical tone.
In KZSU Radio Add List, Stanford, October 1994.
