I have a deutsch grammophon version, and I think that whilst it may be considered 'hot and tense' I still love to play it whilst drifting away. I find it enjoyable in the same way that storms and high wind outdoors are, its like being lost in a forest in the dark. In retrospect soothing was probably the wrong word though... georgewilliamson PS Fridge's 'Sevens and Twelves' is also great to listen to on the edge of sleep. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
