He has turned out an endless procession of horrible dreck which has amounted to nothing much. But I do like some of them - vid cam efforts like 'The Raven' have a really scrambled, low brow surrealism about them. On the other hand, 'Tenderness...' was made under the auspices of a legendary control freak, so you wonder how much of it was actually his.
