quoted 2 lines It's a strange proposition for me that an entire album can be 'absolutely> It's a strange proposition for me that an entire album can be 'absolutely > ruined' by one line of text. .
I don't agree. A strange line of text - one that personally irks the listener - is as annoying as an anticipated scratch on a vinyl record with such damage, and can ruin the entire recording. The difference: one can replace a scratched record, however, one has to trash the Proem. It's odd, listening to a Sister Nancy record, 'One Two', on cd, and ~not~ hearing the scratch on the disc that's on my vinyl copy: an different take on 'phantom pain'. seek np: Digitonal - '23 Things Fall Apart' --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
