nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

GMG is this weird place where the cult of Havergal Brian lives!

It's almost like GMG, in its origins, began life as a Havergal Brian Appreciation Society forum, but then morphed into GMG.

It is a stranger phenomena than UFOs or The Bermuda Triangle.

On top of this, I assumed for a long time that the thread name was listed as last name first and second name last, thus I thought the name was Brian Havergal.

I actually thought that as well until I heard the Gothic Symphony on the radio!

Nielsen
Shostakovich
Beethoven


This was tough, actually, but rather fair as well.

Somewhat similar to my list, which is:

Beethoven
Nielsen
Brahms

(in that order).

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.
