Said BLP contains some deathless, unsourced prose:
QUOTE
A 'Sprache Opera' blending Z’EV’s powerful rhythmic sensibilities with a hauntingly stark melodic conception to orchestrate a 4000+ word vocal narrative developed from cut-ups drawn from approximately 30 audio cassette tapes collected from thrift shops, garage sales and flea markets.
Regarding the title, Face The Wound, the 'wound' in question is that wound in the societal and cultural psyche which resulted from the Witch Trials and specifically from the genocide of the 9 million women burned as witches between the mid-1400’s to the end of the 1700’s.
Compositionally Face The Wound is a Tragi-comedy which shares with ancient Greek Drama the reliance on the dialogue between 2 characters, in this case the male and female voices. Z’EV has also adapted the Wagnerian device of leitmotif, but has applied it to verbal rather than harmonic phrases.
Face the Wound was released on CD by Soleilmoon in 2001, and the full libretto was posted on the original RHYTHMAJIK website.

Does anyone else suspect that Z'ev himself wrote this, under the name Rhythmajik?
And is continuing to edit it, from 2006 up to 2 weeks ago?
Where is your precious NPOV and COI now?
