Reply to Chris Valas: Give IED an inch...

Well, Chris, IED was being just a little facetious when he
asked what was meant to be the rhetorical question, "Why
listen to anything other than Kate?"

SINCE YOU BROUGHT IT UP:
In fact IED wastes away something like 50% of his life
listening intently to extra-Katian musics. Yesterday he
bought four LPs of more or less obscure Debussy (he's suddenly
and almost inexplicably gotten hung up on the
"Impressionists" Debussy and Ravel, trying to absorb
their respective complete works for piano solo); and listened
extensively to two of Ivo Pogorelich's recent CDs (his live Warsaw
Chopin recital and the Ravel Gaspard de la nuit/Prokoviev 6th
Sonata CD). IED's desert island pop top ten list, NOT including Kate,
is as follows:

 1. Japan: Tin Drum and Gentlemen Take Polaroids
 2. David Sylvian: Brilliant Trees
 3. YMO: BGM and Technodelic
 4. Ippu-Do: Night Mirage
 5. Miharu Koshi: Tutu and Parallelisme
 6. Ronny (produced by Peter Godwin): To Have and Have Not (12")
 7. Doris Day (Andre Previn, piano): Duet
 8. Scriabin: Complete Sonatas, Roberto Szidon, piano (DGG)
 9. Rachmaninoff: 4th Piano Concerto, Vladimir Krainev, piano (Melodya)
10. Chopin: Op. 10 and 25 Etudes, Maurizio Pollini, piano (DGG)
