50/50

XP: Oooh, I considered So, but figured I'd be the sole vote. Nice.

It really was one of my favourite albums of that year and still sounds beautiful to me.

I usually assume and accept that I'll be the only vote for a bunch of things.

that So album is awesome

I love Maryanne Amacher's Sound Characters

playing it makes me feel like something is moving in the walls of my house

I can't figure that one out, I've really cranked it and I get how the high frequency stuff is supposed to work but it just seemed painful and I didn't understand the low frequency stuff at all. I should try it again with the newer amplifier, there's a lot of low end.

(with MY newer amplifier, to be clear)
