Now, THIS is what a musician should be...

[Cybernetic Organism68]

Taken from a dead Can Dance site...



"Since our formation in 1981, we have refused to conform to the momentary passing of musical trends choosing instead more demanding avenues of expression, adopting diverse musical traditions and tailoring them to our own needs. This has often caused consternation to those who would attempt to classify our music. In the beginning we were berated for being gothic two years too late, today we are applauded for being at the vanguard of World Music. Whoever you believe we have always endeavoured to remain true to our convictions, in the belief that our music would eventually find its audience on its own merits and not by way of slavishly pandering to the whims of an industry that continually lacks imagination and is subservient to formula and greed. We would like to thank everyone with our deepest Gratitude for the support you have given us over the years to help us retain our Musical independence and give meaning to our labours.

I feel the exact same way they did about music and what it should be about...
