blowin' hot air up me kilt there Tom? Refined indeed :-)

It isn't like I haven't had a ceedee library or two. In a complex world, exponentially gaining in speed. The death of recorded music wasn't readily apparent. Analog music isn't the be all end all of existence, but really .... I tried, and tried, and tried. To listen to didge. But nothing could change that it was only product, not music. I got over it. It weren't that bad. Now there are no distractions, it's all vinyl.

Aibo will never replace spot or fluffy, quaint as he is (have you seen the vid of programmers who stage soccer matches, with teams of reprogrammed Aibo's?). And no machine will ever replace flesh and blood human beings. Robots can never be human. Digital always will be what it is. A recreation. A representation. Heartless. Lifeless. It will never be music.

I don't fear the future, I'm even a fan of Toffler (these are indeed quite interesting times). But the future is just a little darker none the less. Without the joy, the beauty ... that is analog.
