It sounds like the author doesn't own a turntable or else he'd get the idea a bit better. So assume this is someone with a McDonald's gift card criticizing a four star restaurant because people just seem to like something other than flourescent lighting. . |

Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 11906 Registered: Dec-04 | How is cell phone reception 'on a related note' to music? This is hardly news, younguns do not care about music quality, and 'on a related note', most of the new music is created in compressed mess format anyhow, so nothing is missing. Blah Blah Blah |

Classical and jazz has never sounded better. There are so many labels doing great things with recording that it surprises me that all I read about is the dismal state of recorded music. Listen to anything done recently by Criss Cross, Hyperion, Naxos, Chandos, ECM, BIS and on and on. Great stuff out there. |
