    there is no melody and you can play 100 tunes of these so called "performers" - it all sounds like from the same music hell. and the industry seem to push them to the radio stations.

    so i rather listen to "70 rock on vinyl.

    I really like this statement " overzealous use of software to correct imperfections can ruin the human appeal of music,"

    Horse pucky. There is just a much good music today as there has ever been. It seems many individuals have selective memories when it come to music from the '60's and '70's. There was just as many trite releases then as now.

    A good recording is a good recording and is much about the performance as it is about the recording technique.
