...manipulation. All electric instruments come with a sizable Noise (as distinct from Music) potential.

Ward calls Townshend "one of the foremost pioneers and practitioners of this art" and goes on to rave about the instrumental break in "Armenia, City in the Sky" as being "perfectly true to the harmonic structure of the song as well as perfectly integrated kinetically into it." However that...

...machine is about the size of a bread box and weighs only 28 lbs. It can be wheeled into a factory or installed in an out-patient ward, plugged into any standard electrical socket, and can handle as many as 20 subjects an hour. To achieve this simplicity and speed, the machine records only five electrical stimuli per heartbeat, as against the standard machine's 13. These five are sufficient for basic screening. Since what is adjudged normal in an ECG varies with the subject's age, early models of the analyzer were set for use on only...
