Chad wrote:from my perspective... he has a new reputation for creating unlistenable records. and very expensive ones at that. tell me this, when was the last time you sat and listened to this stuff with friend? when was the last time you recommended his (new) work to anyone? a sunday times article will never fix that simon. its just really sad and embarrassing to watch him go out like this.

Improv is not for everyone and I for one had to take some time and effort to get into Manafon. I love it now but my initial reaction was not immediately favourable. Some of David`s releases I`ve bought, listened to a few times and then packed away (Naoshima, Uncommon Deities etc).
"Houses" I really like and am starting to get quite attached to - but I need not play it in the house without my headphones and I have lent it to two friends who have given it back relatively quickly saying it was not for them...
