How many hi-fi fora are you registered on? How many posts have you made about thinks like tracking force/azimuth/anti-skating-gizmos ;) ? I doubt your latest purchase even comes close in the nerd-charts! :D


Tom - no criticism, but we mostly gave up on our pedantry a while ago - no point trying to explain to these heathens differences between renaissance/baroque/pre-classical/classical/romantic/expressionist/nationalist(s)/serialist/minimalist etc. Just like I have no idea (or desire to find out) about happy-hard-core/gabba/intelligent d'n'b (I'm told there is such a thing :eek: ). Shame R'n'B means something totally different now though.


I do find I have troubles filing some contemporary "classical" - e.g. Martland, Fitkin who are a good way towards jazz, and Adams' "I was looking at the ceiling...." is Broadway. (FWIW - if the CD is primarily a band showcase it would go in jazz (or whatever), and if it's primarily a composer showcase it goes in classical). And where should film music go (no, "in the bin" not an allowed answer)  - ah not a problem I don't yet have any (although may get that RVW "Scott of the Antarctic", and Korngold's "Sea Hawk"). At present they just go in the classical section as I don't really have a serious need for an alternative.
