atari2600 - there's something a bit, um, unfair about the way that Laurie Anderson is dismissed as some "acceptable" arthouse kookiness, whereas La Monte Young is treated as godhead, no matter what music he comes up with. I saw La Monte 7 years ago in London (city of tea and bad dental hygiene), and thought his opuses less that good (read: fucking atrocious). I'd argue that Mrs Reed has been at least a far more consistent artist over the past couple of decades....
