Kudos to you Mr. Zvonar. My findings agree with yours. TGore44 is obviously not worth one's breath. I have to disagree Ted K. People like TGore44 who through a stone and then run, deserve the full brunt of our venom. TGore44 is a typical idiot. Hey TGore44, you're an asshole! But anyway, it got me to think of my first experiences with ambient music and other forms of abstract and minimal art. Sure, Eno's Music for Airports sounds like random piano at the bottom of a coal mine IF you're looking for a standard western musical approach. The fist time I heard it I was totally confused. "When does the song start?" It was only after I actually started to improvise over the piece did it make sense to me. I was looking for something that wasn't there and that was preventing me from seeing what WAS there. Now I listen to music that the HR woman where I work calls, "Heartmonitor music" and stuff that's even beepier and I can fully appreciate it. I can usually tell when someone is actually composing as opposed to noodling, though it's more of a gray area. I'm sure when I first started listening to abstract modern music I wasn't very good at this. Basically , with a lot of ambient musc, it's an aquired taste, but if you're open and awake you'll be happy you didn't dismiss it.
