Sometimes I wonder... what is all that flock mentality?
About ten years ago you could not walk through the Hi-Fi show without hearing Spanish Harlem play in every room. Five years ago it was that dumb diva everywhere.
I recall how, years ago, in the middle of that that crap I stumbled over the Shun Mook room, and there the monk was playing Mozart's 17th piano concerto - one of my favorites... I can't express how grateful I was for those minutes of refuge...
And if that makes me not a videophile... or audiophile, for that matter, then so be it!

It was the celebration of "video meets pseudo Hi-Fi ".
Spanish Harlem was cool when compared to that crap! At least it was some kind of moderate...
Like jazz at the Pawshop another anti-musical anti-climax...
Refuge? That is in truth the right word.
Like escaping....Ha-ha!

  Too bad the industry had to kill its delicate soul.
  Years ago one reviewer said about "audiophile" recordings something like "good recordings of something I don't want to hear"... so true.
  And now we are going through the same with all that HD DVD hoopla...
