    In light of industrial music's attitudes toward tradition, hierarchy, and the body, Stockhausen's opinions seem positively relical when he continues, "Music is the product of the highest human intelligence, and […] as soon as it becomes just a means for ambiance, as we say, environment, or for being used for certain purposes, then music becomes a whore."
