I probably should have quoted from this - my point above was perhaps more about the idea that no-one 'invents' the language of music. I've been transposing some ideas from gamelan into an electric guitar quartet recently. There's no fucking way that's 'groundbreaking'; I can't think of anyone else that's done it though. Like Beefheart, I merely borrow the language; I suppose the difference is that I'm a lot more self-conscious about doing so. Oh, and the other great difference is that he's very good, whereas I'm not as good as I want to be. Yet.
