The main reason why I wrote it was the general lack of feedback you had received. I do like some uneasy music as well, but a rather different kind, and only about once a month. I'm more on the noisy side of things, I love Maurizio Bianchi's "River of water of life" for example. Well, last time I posted music on a ML it killed the thread, and next time you can smash me into the ground if you want to ;) Regards, Philipp _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
