I'm not at all familiar with ATR, but it seems to me
that anyone's inability to live up to their own
opinions about the way things should be doesn't at all
invalidate their opinions. In art, practice may never
live up to theory, but unlike science, this doesn't
discount the theory.. it just suggests that perhaps a
different practice might be required to achieve the
desired results.
Some cultures can get insanely into their rituals,
with music and theatre and going into trances and
shit, but the same stuff likely wouldn't produce the
same effect on me. This doesn't mean that I couldn't
have the same sort of experience, just that it would
take something else to get to it.

I don't really care about this issue one iota. No
more than I care about whether technology can make
emotional music. Any technology can make emotional
music relevant to humans if there are humans driving
the technology...
This is all irrelevant, I feel, to the comment, which,
when I read it in my copy, I thought it was completely
about the way the music is presented and not about the
music alone or the "artist" involved. Having a drink
and looking at a nerd doesn't mean it's the nerd part
of the system that is wrong...
