In looking through some files yesterday (the old kind -- printed paper, not computer files  :)), I came upon a clipping from the New York Times, from 1986. Unfortunately, only the last bit, so I don't know who wrote the article anymore. But, it's very apropos to the discussion here:

In his effort to remain at the head of the avant-garde class by becoming the prophet of computerized acoustique / musique, Mr. Boulez may be forgetting the advice of one of his own heroes, Varese, who cautioned composers against a narrow infatuation with technology at the expense of musical tradition: "Just because there are other ways of getting there, you do not kill the horse."
