Music for me is a visceral experience
I must feel it running through my veins
I must feel it tense my muscles
When I feel the music running strongly enough through my body,
only then do I feel my spirit lifted
It is only through the connection to my body
that I feel the spiritual experience of music

“only then do I feel my spirit lifted”
This is exactly how I review new music! By its ability to lift my spirit. Or to throw it against concrete wall. When I listen to the music, I switch off multi-tasking, just me wrapped in sound, with the booklet near for reference. And I don’t want to be too conservative, but I believe there’s a special circle of hell for the ones who invented digipacks ๐
I’m so glad you agree! I can’t imagine life without music…and digipacks are just wrong.
