| This purports to be a “digital single”, whatever that is; presumably it means you have to download it off the meganet, rather than walking into a shop and buying it. That’s not a single at all! Rubbish! |

Anyway, ‘Terry Riley Disco’ (named after a dead composer, apparently), consists of a Casio keyboard-style beat, various bleepy arcade machine noises, and Mr Bookish reciting in a Neil Tennant-style monotone, “A mixed-up genre for a mixed-up world… Terry! Riley! Disco!”
The first time I listened to it, I thought it was the most irritating thing I had ever heard. By the second time round, it had grown on me slightly. And the third time - well, actually I didn’t listen to it a third time, because by that point I had found a CD somebody made for me years ago with ‘Push The Little Daisies’ by Ween on it, so I put that on instead, and flung the Terry Riley record out of the window. Unfortunately, it struck an Edgware-bound Tube train, causing a catastrophic derailment, so I have deducted it one point as a mark of respect for the dead. |

Terry Riley very much alive and well, and a huge influence on me and thousands of others.
The Who = Baba O'Reilly, for example
