A Rainbow in Curved Air I've got that somewhere on vinyl

My own favourite is Michael Jackson's heartbeat as processed by the Synclavier at the beginning Smooth Criminal.

/\ seal of approval!

^ Of course. I think all those things you say happen all the time.

For me music is one of life's great adventures, it takes the place of expensive and dangerous travel to exotic locales without any of the geographical dispacement and discomfort of jungles and the price of admission is almost free, all you need to do is keep your ears open. I have only one prejudice and criteria in music, that it be good. Everyday, every new source is potential for something life affirming, even yesterday, I came across this musician and have some CDs on the way:

There's always something more, a little further onwards.....

But in saying all that, I am strongly drawn to the mid-20th century American jazz aesthetic of bebop, modern, cool and hard bop jazz. To me that's where the richest veins in the mine are to be found.

Also read up on Wesley Robinson a San Francisco jazz promoter who went to be massively influential to the emerging 70s punk scene.

Broader than Broadway.

I seem to be a complete contrast with my clothes though. I specifically aim for one period and one style. But I don't feel like music and clothes express the same thing with me
