I agree on both counts. I was really anxious to hear Spectrum after I
read what people were saying on the newsgroups and this list about it.
I listened to it at the store and then double-checked the cover to make
sure I had the right cd. It was decent, but not "mind-blowing" like
people were saying. Perhaps the problem is that I am really enjoying
"Explorers_We" by Farmers Manual and Matmos's "Quasi Objects." Now
those ARE mind-blowing! I'm in a phase of craving unique sound textures
and I felt the sounds on Spectrum didn't challenge me enough. Oh well,
I'll give Spectrum another whirl in week and see what happens.
