Subject: Re: Windpuke Hill and Klaus Schulze
Sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Rossi, but I've known about Windom Hill as long I've known about Kate Bush. The person who introduced me to Windom Hill is the same person that introduced me to Crass and Kate Bush. I purchased my one and only Windom Hill album years before I ever knew that Kate Bush had ever heard of them, and I have no intent of purchasing any more. They make nice background music (I only have limited use for background music, but sometimes it is nice to have music that you can play while talking to someone), and they are certainly much much less objectionable than the yuppies who seem to like them so much. Windom Hill music (other than their piano music) often does have a certain edge to it. For example, William Ackerman's guitar is often miked so that the fret scraping is painfully audible. Of couse, I find the scraping noises to be the most interesting part. If you deny this aspect to their music, you merely haven't listened to it. I certainly wouldn't compare Windom Hill to Klaus Schulze, whom I think is far superior and whom by I own a reasonable selection of records. |>oug
