I think said person is thinking of fart rock.

Let him rot and decay in the eternal silent agony of blissful ignorance.

God only knows no one at PA has ever written anything remotely denigrating about other people's music.
O.K., maybe a few , like &,$,%,,#@,!(,*,&,%,^, ... all names changed to protect me until I blow up real good.

Music from the Body.... on Harvest Records no doubt?

I agree with the love so dearly comment. Ron Geesin scored a lot for hit radio. Jingles and various soundtrack efforts through the years proved him to be a diverse musician. Music From the Body was more interesting for a listen or two at the time of it's release. Various Ron Geesin back catalog releases are much more enjoyable musically. He was a fantastic player. Nylon string classical, banjo, whatever. Roger Waters Several Spieces Of Small Furry Animals is a Geesin duplicate in composition. Demented, errie and disturbing to the flesh sockets above your head.

Unfortunately, he lived in the ages prior to prog, so covers of Floyd, Genesis et al to the sound of a reverberating fart were not available

That's not something we're really proud of... Now, we evolved and sing by belching. That's a bit classier.

It's kind of sad that you care so much about what other people think of the useless sounds you prefer to listen to...
