You know, I picked this up a while back on the strength of the one fairly accessible track toward the beginning with lots of fantastic soft rhythm, and then didn't touch it again for six months or so. Then, I randomly brought it along to work to listen to on headphones, and thought it was really lovely, in its own abstract, disjointed sort of way. I've found, for some reason, that I only like it on headphones, but that I really like it on headphones. Occasionally. Just my own pointless contribution of my relation to this album. (And yes, I call it an album even though it's only come out on CD as far as I know--- just like photo albums aren't laid onto wax either. Etymologically, as if that sort of thing really matters, the word derives from the latin for "blank tablet", i.e. an album is a receptacle for a collection of info. "Record albums", on the other hand, are almost always vinyl, as are platters if they play music when spun). Best, Matthew Best. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
