However, when reviewing this music at Amazon, I’ve often found that this very same music that to me seems mindlessly pretty fluff, in fact has had quite an impact on other listeners, who call it sublime, revelatory, etc. Well, different strokes for different folks, I guess.<br /><br />Is it just me, or if ECM’s output slowing? They must be taking quite a hit from internet filesharing; most fans of the label I know don’t buy the records any more unless, as I mentioned here before, they want the vinyl as decor.Christopher Culverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13497448580399752587noreply@blogger.com
