(He writes Herbie Hancock's music for him, every now and then, to make money, doesn't he?)

Massacre is *really* great, and very different from Material, but not for the weak of ear. "Why kill time, when you can kill yourself?" Doug Alan nessus@mit-eddie.UUCP (or ARPA)

It's not like uh...Material at all. One of the year's best, though.
