I definitely want to see this.
He was a pretty amazing guy. "World of Echo" is my favorite record of his right now - just his voice and distorted cello. His playing is so weird and percussive, I'm still trying to figure out what is FX and what is technique.
Pretty prolific - he left a huge number of reel to reel recordings (something in the hundreds, I think?)

it was a good doc for sure. they also just released an album of some of his folk/country influenced songs - it's pretty nice, i didn't really know what to expect.

thanks for jogging my memory. i saw this blog and we decided to go check it out at the roxie in SF [edit: oh, i see you saw it here as well!] the other night. a very nice film. a word of warning though: if you're going to smuggle in beer and homemade popcorn, don't go early when there are only a few other people, all sitting right around you, scowling nastily every time you rustle your paper popcorn bag. to be fair, in any city the white-haired antagonist in front of you could very well have been a good friend of AR, disgusted with our disrespect
anyway, go see it and bawl your eyes out when his parents reminisce: so touching.
also, the Loft scenes are out of this world. as are the pent-up home studio dx-7 scenes that i know all you dorks will be able to identify with.
