FZ said of [[Olivier Messiaen]], who tutored [[Pierre Boulez|Boulez]] and [[Karlheinz Stockhausen|Stockhausen]], in an [[The Mother Of All Interviews (Part 2)|interview with Don Menn]] in 1982;
 
  
<blockquote>"I like Messiaen. Took me a while, but I like that music. He's colorful. But I must admit that the first Messiaen album that I ever got was an ''Angel'' recording of ''Chronochromie'', and it baffled the snot out of me. I didn't know what to do with it. I could stay interested for about the first three minutes. I was going, "Whoa, a lot of percussion; that's interesting, but what is this?" It took me years before I could listen to that whole side of the album straight through".</blockquote>
