Can I conclude the CD is growing on those of us list members who
had the priviledge to listen to it so far?
We start relationships with certain types of people and hope
it is growing on us.
We move into a house in our favourite area and hope living in this
house will grow on us.
We buy a car of a certain brand even if it does not feel right
from the start - hoping the drive will grow on us.
We buy clothing of our favourite brand in the trust it will soon feel
right on our skin.
And we buy music in this trust the songs will grow on
us.
DON'T WE?
Where are the proud but disappointed Sting
fans that have decided NOT to buy this album?
Let's not forget about the future and get on with the thought that
this album would have been made available on emusic right
away. You could purchase each song separately for 99 cents a piece - which
ones would lead the download list??
Would you download a second track after being
disappointed about the first one? With single-track download, the album
character disappears - where is the chance for a musician to tell a story?
How can then "a list of tracks" grow on us?
Thinking of this, I want to forget about that
future, get on with the present and hope that albums will always remain being
available as a whole "book".
Just another 2 cents I could not hold
back.
