The August 2011 issue of The Wire is out now. This month's magazine includes a Primer on Jim O'Rourke written by myself. Shortly after publication, I was contacted by Peter Rehberg who kindly cleared up the history of Fenn O'Berg. He wrote:
"I wasn't introduced to Jim at Nickelsdorf in 1997. We met a year before at the Hyperstrings festival in Vienna where we were both performing. At Nickelsdorf Jim came up with the idea of Christian and myself playing with him without announcement in the cellar bar of the festival. That's how Fenn O'Berg started."
I would also like to point out that the image of the Remove the Need album is in fact that of a tape released by Complacency in 1989, which is a different album to the one reviewed, despite bearing the same title.
All being well, corrections will appear in the next issue of The Wire. I want to thank the staff at The Wire for their support throughout the preparation of this article.
