Hello,I'm a big fan of the DeVores and highly recommend them. As you can probably tell, I'd challenge your statement that the mating of DeVore and Sim is "unemotional". I find my system to be extremely engaging and it never fails to connect me with the emotional and organic nature of music, regardless of my state of mind.
Of course, everybody has their likes and dislikes. For instance, I don't care for pie. My friends find that baffling - and my father thinks it's downright un-American! So perhaps my appreciation of Sim and DeVore is reflective of the Commie in me? I just thought I should let everybody know that in the interest of full disclosure.
Happy Listening (Comrades!)

There’s nothing wrong with challenging my impressions. The bottomline is you like what you hear.

Believe what your ears say - not hearsay.
I'll admit that I'm not big on desserts to begin with but pie has virtually zero appeal to me. As I mentioned before, my friends just stare back incredulously at me when they hear this. A couple of them are hardcore foodies and they constantly pepper me with questions in an effort to wrap their heads around my harumphedness towards pie. "Don'tcha like pastries?" "Is it the fruit? Are you not a fan of fruit?" "Maybe you've never had REALLY good pie...". One of them, a graduate of a culinary school, asked if I liked donuts. "Of course I like doughnuts, I may be a Commie, but I'm not a jerk!".
So he's determined to slowly turn me into a pie person by making a Doughnut Pie. Now that is something I could (potentially) really get behind.
from Wikipedia: "The word, Germknödel can be translated as yeast dumpling. Predictably, the plump, round dessert's main ingredient is a yeast dough. The dough is filled with Powidl, a plum jam, which after much reduction, tastes more like dried prune than plum. The dumpling is steamed and then immediately served with a vanilla sauce. Topped off with poppy, sugar and and melted butter, it's not a dish one easily forgets."
The poppy is the brilliant touch to this dish.
I am not exactly going to devore anyone's pie.
