CYCLE SEVENTY-ONE

1. If Jazz is extreme left wing and Rock ... left wing, then Classical is right wing and Folk ... extreme right wing - a distinction between barbarism and nature on the one hand, and civilization and culture on the other hand. Jazz, being noumenally objective, is the music of the Devil, and Rock, being phenomenally objective, the music of woman. Classical, being phenomenally subjective, is the music of man, and Folk, being noumenally subjective, the music of God. From horns to uilleann pipes via guitars and keyboards.

2. The synthesizer has the capacity to emulate a variety of instruments including, not least of all, wind and brass - a factor which confirms its paradoxical status as a bridge between keyboards and horns, which suggests to this thinker an analogy with burning crosses and other phenomena appertaining to an extreme lunar identity, the sort of identity I have elsewhere characterized as 'Nazi' by dint of its (relative to the lunar limbo) extreme right-wing correlation. It is as though, by emulating horns, the synthesist is approaching the Hell of cosmic and/or solar Fundamentalism from a radically purgatorial point-of-view, his synthesizer a burning cross which is nonetheless distinct from the superstar of musical Hell per se. As distinct, in fact, from musical Hell as a photobook from a film or a Nazi from a Bolshevik! Yet such a paradox is a sort of Hell all the same, the Nazi Hell of an extreme purgatorial lunacy.

3. The reader will, I trust, be aware of the distinction I habitually draw between the mini-extreme right-wing nature of a purgatorial lunacy and the maxi-extreme right-wing nature of the heavenly Beyond, which is of the Extreme Right per se, and therefore not something affiliated to the lunar limbo after the fashion of Nazism and other forms of so-called fascism having a largely Protestant and/or Germanic origin. The Extreme Right per se is generically far superior to any purgatorial extremism of the burning or crooked cross varieties! In fact, if I categorize Social Transcendentalism as generically 'superfascist', it is on the basis of a maxi-extreme right-wing nature which is no Christian and, in particular, Catholic omega like (Latin) fascism, but a superchristian omega which has less to do with the defence of the Church from, for example, Bolshevik atheism than with the advancement of transcendentalism to the Centre, and thus the 'coming out' of God as the Holy Spirit of Heaven. By comparison to this, the Holy Ghost of fascist precedence would seem to be a rather Pentecostal divinity hemmed-in by Catholic tradition and unable, in consequence, to transcend the Trinity and achieve that divine liberation which only Social Transcendentalism can offer. Yet it is still morally superior to the quasi-Devil of Nazi fundamentalism.
