(Mille Plateaux) Not so much a collection of tracks as an 'audio project' that works best when bits of muzak are estranged by frequency clicks and studio filters that make them whistle and hum. Another high point of defamiliarization is No.07 when spacious piano notes are distorted and made to sound like a weird hybrid of the natural and the digital. If the Means From An End CD was exciteing in its meticulous irreverence and through the way Terre Thaemlitz contextualised his/her work in a political way then there's a suspicion that this CD, whit its theme of academic collaboration, is too tempered by its potential reception as 'art music'.
