The only influence i remember hearing about washing machine is that thurston wrote "the diamond sea " for kim and then recently born coco. What about the other tracks though? where did the whole washing machine concept even come from ? Maybe some old interviews from the WM era could shed some light ?

I'm guessing that Pattern Recognition was influenced by the book Pattern Recognition. It's another Gibson novel in the same vein as Neuromancer. SY have bunch of songs about those "cyber punk" books.
