Okay Rob - I apologise for being defensive. I like the techy speak in reviews, but it is not for everyone you are right. These reviewers need to walk a fine line here.
Really my point is slightly related though really about interviews. I do think there should be more emphasis on the music and equipment and less on lifestyle in interviews with producers, I'm interested to see if anyone else agrees.
