With any repetetive music, unless you know where to listen for the
changes and fluctuations you'll miss them. I heard most of Liquid Room
in the record store and my reaction was 'Fuck Yeah!" and I followed it
the way you have to follow an extended Coltrane solo like 'Traning In.'
I didn't hear monotony, I heard variety, but the variety is at the edges --
at the center is "BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM"
I ain't going to make you buy this and make it your religion, Miles.
Feel free to hate it. I just think you may be missing something here.
