For anybody who cares, Dixon is a bit off on this: Having a personal name trademarked doesn't mean the owner (Bill Dixon Inc in this case) gets to approve everything bearing that name. If this CD is a legal release then consent isn't required, though the uneasy match between trademark and copyright law means there's probably enough to argue the case into court. As to whether the CD is legally released that will depend on who owns the copyright and what rights were granted to Cadence/CIMP; it could easily be perfectly legit and in no sense a bootleg and still be "unauthorized" by Dixon. None of this touches on the moral issues & it's pretty clear that there's some story behind this we may never know.

Sure. Let us about the candidate (if any).
Patrice (are we really moving in the 3rd millenium?).

Subject: sonic youth 20th century
Sonic Youth has a new 2cd set of 20th century classical works (Cage, Wolff,
Reich, etc.) which is available from most of the usual sources. I'm
unfamiliar with their music, but I had always placed them in some vague pop
landscape. Can anyone provide any background on the group, how this album
fits with the rest of their output, and perhaps even a review of the album?
TIA.

It is pretty obvious that the debasement of the human mind caused by a
constant flow of fraudulent advertising is no trivial thing. There is more
than one way to conquer a country.

I don't know much about them, but I have and like the album. They, and
various New Music all stars, do the works well. Most of them are somewhat
vague text scores, giving them a lot of leeway, but as far as I can
tell, they do them accurately and listenably. (Mercifully, the Yoko
Ono scream piece is recorded rather briefly and quietly :-] )
