Pliable made it very clear that you were in no way using the second CD as a sales gimmick, besides which, I’m sorry to say that I haven’t even heard your recording. My comments were intended only as a response to the more usual, less well-considered application of artificial reverb. I was I suppose, addressing the question of the appropriateness of technology just as you had hoped. <BR/>I hope that your disc proves a successful release although [judging by your description of the Charters version] I fear that the immediate impressiveness of the artificially enhanced sound of the bonus disc will persuade many listeners that it is in fact superior to the original recording. Stylised homogeneity is, after all, what we are becoming accustomed to these days. <BR/>Nevertheless, all credit to you and your colleagues for drawing attention to the intangible and underrated importance of acoustics. I look forward to hearing the disc and to reading your essay.Guthry Trojanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06246363997168873541noreply@blogger.com
