This review is from: Descending Moonshine Dervishes / Songs for the Ten Voices of the Two Prophets (Audio CD)

It's funny and sad that a lot of times the pioneers are less well known than the imitators.

Terry along with LeMonte Young started the 'trance' music movement and they are still more interesting than the rest. Techno and Rave people should ACTUALLY listen to this album. '10 Voices for the 2 Prophets' is a pun on the fact that Prophet 5 synthesisers have 5 voices and he plays two of them. He also sings, microtonally. This guy has more music in his little finger than 50 techno knob twisters. His classic 'In C' revolutionized music and musicans including Miles Davis, Eno, Bowie.

But beware you must LISTEN to it.

My favorite is 'Sri Camel'.
