    Probably my favorite liner notes of all time. Seriously. They're part academic paper, part instructional, and part philosophical musings.

    My favorite quote:

    "Electronic music is recorded music -it exists only in a recording. The cuts on this record are not performances that have been recorded - they ARE the performances; you perform the piece when you play it on the phonograph."

    The opening sentences read like the opening lines of the Communist Manifesto ("A specter is haunting Europe", etc.):

    "The old battles over the use of the term 'music' in 'electronic music' have given place to new ones over the term 'electronic'."
