"I think the common trait to most artists is an
attraction towards the
thrill of uncertainty, and an impulse to again and
again put themselves in a
precarious position, even if it is in a very
insulated way. Making records
doesn't threaten your life. If you fuck up you're
not going to die, but
nonetheless, the thrill is to do something that
takes you by surprise, that
makes you wonder, god, what in me does this concept
connect with? What part of me have I
discovered now?"
-Brian Eno

It is sad to think that the first few people on
earth needed no books,
movies, games or music to inspire coldblooded
murder. The day that Cain
bashed his brother Abel's brains in, the only
motivation he needed was
his own human disposition to violence. Times have
not become more
violent. They've just become more
televised.
-- shock rocker Marilyn
Manson

[4. INTERFOR
Violence]
00 VIOLENT INTERFOR
EMPLOYEES
DEMOLISH PEACE CAMP
AND
BEAT PEACEFUL
PROTESTERS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TIME: 8:30 AM DATE: Sept.
16, 1999
LOCATION: The Stoltmann
Wilderness, Elaho Valley (2 hours North of
Squamish) At 11 am yesterday, Interfor allowed over 100
angry employees to leave work to harass
and attack 7 protesters camped in the Upper Elaho valley.
Several thugs beat
the campers hospitalising two. The loggers smashed
everything they could find in the legal protest camp,
including a $6,000 satellite phone which was the only
communication to the outside world, and two video cameras
which they undoubtedly feared would incriminate them. They vandalised
at least two vehicles and burned tents and destroyed other camping
equipment. A young BC woman, suffered severe neck injuries
and a man was kicked repeatedly in the kidneys. James Jamieson,
trail foreman of the nearby WCWC millennial research camp had
his van ransacked as loggers forced their way in to stop
him calling out for help on the satellite phone. They
then crushed his hand and smashed the satellite
phone.

"we urge you to join
the resistance and help us to combat the mediocre
audio and visual
programming that is being fed to the inhabitants of
earth. this programming
is stagnating the minds of the people; building
a wall between races and
preventing world peace.
it is this wall we are going to smash. by using
the untapped energy
potential of sound we are going to destroy this wall much
the same as
certain frequencies shatter glass. techno is music based
in
experimentation; it is sacred to no one race; it has no definite
sound.
it is music for the future of the human race. without this music
there
will be no peace. no love. no vision.
by simply communicating
through sound, techno has brought people of all
different nationalities
together under one roof to enjoy themselves.
isn't it obvious that music and
dance are the keys to the universe? so
called primitive animals and tribal
humans have known this for thousands
of years! we urge all brothers and
sisters of the underground to create
and transmit their tones and frequencies
no matter how so called
primitive their equipment may be. transmit these
tones and wreck havoc
on the programmers! long live the underground"

"If the music made
you dance, you danced. If the music made you scream,
you
screamed. You could have all the frustrations in the
world, but
your drug was supposed to have been the music, your doctor
was supposed
to have been the music, your counsellor; the
music. When you needed
someone to love, you made love
to the music. That's the underground.
It's allowing you to
cut loose and be yourself, and let the music take
control. The true
underground had a mystique that you could not explain."

Further reconaissance has discovered
a hybrid weapon causing immense
casualties in the trenches.
Unknown allied technicians are believed to
have fused the insinuating sonic stealth
of techno and the raw destructive power of
traditional beat warfare.
Upon interrogation of the only
survivor of the latest
assault, the shivering soldier
replied only in a feeble tone ...
"they called it
tech-house".
Recent intelligence shows
the desperation of the situation. Rumours
are flying around our camp -- Chair Battalions IV and V (led by assault operatives
Altitude and Rainfield) and Woodwork Battalions III and IV (led by
tactical operatives Sunkissed and Crave) have been sighted
in the area and have moved to cut off any
escape.
We will die like deep house
soldiers.
