"In the spirit of DJ-only a capella mixing tools, 'slow to speak' has assembled a collection of quotations, media clips, poems, interviews and monologues spanning a wide spectrum of social themes and critical perspectives (...as well as a few not-so-critical perspectives). Presented here in digital format for use on the dancefloor, we are reminded that the histories of technological-based music and clubbing can offer more than the luxury of escapism, and that they hold longstanding roots in acts of cultural resistance and social critique (think of Constructivism and the electric noise revolutions of 100 years ago). Don't be afraid to use this CD to rupture the dancefloor's never-ending babble of "love and unity." Keep it in your case, take it to the clubs, remember that "even about misery, you can take the attitude of celebration," and "pledge to make it real." Do this, and it is still not enough." - Terre Thaemlitz
