DJ Spooky’s Rhythm Science has this track where the voice of William S. Burroughs is remixed. Obviously, the choice of text is significant. Here’s it:
To achieve independence from alien domination and to consolidate revolutionary gains, five steps are necessary:
Space 1: Proclaim a new era and set up a new calendar
Space 2: Replace alien language
Space 3: Destroy or neutralize alien gods
Space 4: Destroy alien machinery of government and control
Space 5: Take land and wealth from individual aliens.
Reminder: State’s control is space-oriented.
So now we got Foucault, linked to Bey, who’s linked to Laswell and also to Burroughs, who’s linked to DJ Spooky, who’s remixing Laswell as well as Burroughs, and not any text of Burroughs, but rather a next-step-text, an how-to text that goes with the spirit of them all.
