Re: KUNDUN

<P>What was the hardest thing to determine in the vinyl era?
<BR>Whether a Brian Eno LP was warped or whether a Philip Glass LP was
skipping.

<P>I just checked out The Glass Pages,Alot of various audio,some of which
doesn't
<BR>work but alot does.I had never listened to him except now I realize
that I have heard him .Varied,but all in a style of his own.I dug the ram
of 1001 airplanes but it seems to be an incomplete file.
<BR>Thanks for the tip,
<BR>Jeff
