Hell, we all need a place in life! Something to offer to the world. A Job, life, everything...
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

I saw a great free-style rap over Mahler's Ninth on MySpace.  Funky stuff!   ;D

Quote from: 71 dB on April 26, 2007, 01:03:33 PM. . . I continue listening to the symphonies but I still can't include Mahler among the greatest symphonists.

Mahler's trademark is to keep things simple. I constantly feel he does not take the music anywhere. Also, all movements sound alike. I don't know another composer whose fast and slow movements sound so similar. . . .

What a pleasure it is to find some one so well expressing one's own view! For indeed we said much the same HERE. The Eighth is his most worthwhile symphony, and it is also the least similar to the others.

A curious fact is that it is usually the Mahler-lovers who turn out to be the Shosta-cow-itch lovers too. Yet there is a difference: Mahler's long symphonies are not unpleasant to listen to - at least in the background while one is busily occupied with some other task - whereas Shosta-cow-itch's are for a sensitive and discriminating person intolerable in any setting.
Rule 1: assiduously address the what not the whom! Rule 2: shun bad language! Rule 3: do not deviate! Rule 4: be as pleasant as you can!

Just *how* do you come up with all that silly stuff? I have to admit there is some kind of negative genius shining through your nonsensical contributions sometimes. Are you currently on medication?

i don't think any amount of medication can cure someone of that strong a case of retardedness.

Herr Professor Henning would disagree with that statement.

Mahler as easy listening music?   :D ...astonishing.

We contend that it is completely possible to be a sensitive and discriminating person and still possess a pair of balls and the ability to use your ears like a man.

"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Based on what I have heard so far I'd like Mahler 4 times denser.

Mahler's 3rd in particular...how rudimentary!

Funniest thing I have ever heard in a Mahler context.
