I think you have to listen to them at least three or four times each before they start to grow on you. Therein lies the problem with music reviews and reviewers, I guess. They're probably listening, in a hurry, to get a review done - in a hurry. Not conducive to enjoying the music - more like a fast food fix on the run than a nice leisurely sit-down dinner with wine and the whole bit. If I had posted my initial reactions after listening to the pieces on the nonesuch site and those posted by or pointed to by Moni, (because initially I did sit down and type out my comments as I listened, but decided against posting this to the list for a number of reasons), it wouldn't have been all favourable. But I downloaded them and burned them onto a CD and listened to it over and over again and they did indeed grow on me. Now if only the Canadian distributors would get their act together and release the friggin thing at the same time as they did in the U.S., I wouldn't feel like the kid that wasn't invited to the birthday party. I may have to shuffle off to Buffalo if I get impatient enough (like, I guess I could order it online and have it shipped to me super-fast and it wouldn't cost me any more, but never mind about that.) ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
