Number19@aol.com responds: I buy a lot of music -- more than your average consumer and less than your average deejay. When I'm dropping bucks, in some cases for stuff I've read reviews of but haven't yet heard, it's like being a stock market trader not knowing if the market's gonna go up or I'm gonna lose my shit -- music, for me, is an investment... In a spiritual sense. I personally hope my desire for fresh audio stimulation never withers. Peace ya'll, 19. On Now: Excursion in Ambience 3, t.1-2. Yikes!!!
