Gregg's interviews are always fascinating. He comes from the position of tutor, yet fan.

Zdenek Liska is the "tip of the tongue" composer for a number of Jan Svankmajer's films. Personally, I find the score for Byt (The Flat) extraordinary. Strikingly reminiscent of Prokofiev and Shostakovich, yet so original. Thank you Gregg and Andy for this wonderful discussion.

[@nedhurley1634]

Liska's score for Juraj Herz's The Cremator is one of the great scores of all time!

[@J27265]

I wonder if Andy, or Greg, know anything about Kierkegaard's take on "repetition"?

[@joeg6222]

Great one, Gregg! I need to hear Powers again.

[@Z-eb]

WOW ! Nice talk about his ambient masterpiece #2 "Powers" . If only APE would release his first ambient album (soundtrack) "The Ocean`s Daughter" Again Thanks !

The Oz copy of English Settlement is a single lp as well..

[@nedhurley1634]

Gregg you should have Chris Cutler on to discuss his semi-recent book 'Not As We Choose' -- he has a LOT to say about Cage.
