Christopher W Becker, Factsheet Five, no. 63, February 23, 1998
Unbelievable audio collage that makes heavy use of both broadcast media and natural conversations. The Weather [2nd movement of Talking to a Loudspeaker] is one of the best pieces here. Dan gathered up various televised comments about the weather and sewed them together in a fit of weird inspiration. It’s not often you get to hear that stupid weatherman voice turned back on itself to make it even more idiotic. Other tracks feature the speech of doofy locals interjected with the sound of fluffy jackhammers, extreme examples of voice manipulation, fart noises that intrude on a crew of campers, and a new audio landscape of the city zoo.
