I'd go along with John here. I'm an old fart of 32 (?) but I'm a fan. It's certainly been around for a while though it's been called different names over time. Then again... this is somewhat of a recent phenom (esp. here in the States where people are just waking up to it) and what usually happens is that the 'old guard' is usually insulted by the new 'upstarts.' Then it gets watered down and mass-produced and everyone loves it! Jason Perfect Sound Forever Warped Perspectives on All Types of Music perfect-sound@furious.com http://www.furious.com/perfect
