Are you sure? I think some music immediately draws you in, and some you have
to pay close attention to appreciate. I don't think that's a flaw. There can
be complexities that you simply don't or cannot notice on a first listen.
You mention that FSOL's ISDN transmissions gets better every time you listen
to it. A case in point?

I had much narrower tastes when I was younger. Because so much was new to me
I could spend a long time just getting the most out of a small range of
stuff. As I've got older and got more records, I've needed to branch out
more to find the novelty and energy that inspired me as a teenager to pursue
my own musical tastes rather than following those of others around me.
I still get very excited about a lot of new music.
Dan.
