Nice one, I'll be checking all these out, there's quite a few albums on Spotify. I was listening to a bit of that Call Me Burroughs one last night, that's seems like a good one.

I wasn't aware Gysin was a bad influence as much as he was a good one until reading the Soft Machine notes the other day. Apparently he encouraged the anti-semitism and misogyny that peaked in Burroughs' stuff around the time of the cut-ups.

Brion, The master race they called him?
Edit: drunk, the play on words should have been - “his name was master race”

Shut the whole thing right off — Silence — When you answer the machine you provide it with more recordings to be played back to your “enemies” keep the whole nova machine running — The Chinese character for “enemy” means to be similar to or to answer — Don’t answer the machine — Shut if off —

Tbh the arty videos and industrial noise are all a bit too much for me at the moment.
The version of Hassan's last words that's in Nova Express tones down the anti-Semitism a bit compared to some of the other versions I see, but you can still see it bubbling under the surface. Quite similar to Pound's usura rants.

Something I've developed a greater appreciation for reading the notes is how densely layered and autobiographical his stuff is. A lot of the characters are based on real people and there are specific locations, establishments and whatnot he visited that appear in the books. Also, how deliberate and methodical a lot of it is, despite the apparent messiness. He gave instructions to publishers that certain words and letters be lower or upper case, that certain ellipses have specific spacings, etc. It's all very precise once it gets to the editing process.

Definitely seems like he was very aware the books would be more lasting monuments than all the scattered experiments published in little magazines and sound recordings etc, and he was keen to polish them up.
