lets make this a 'performing live' part two and take up days of arguing
over.... what was that thread about again?! ;)

i agree with you that message doesnt have to be so obvious to be
"there", but
if it is of concern to the artist that the listener receive the message,
then
id argue he should display the message 'on his sleeve', which in this
context
would include writing the message in the liner notes or somehow
indicating
to the listener what your point is composing the track and/or what you
are
trying to achieve with the composition.  

also: concerning my statement above: m.sound doesnt have to be devoid of
message and it *can* signify something other than itself.  its my own
personal
preference that i hear it for what it is, similar to listening to the
rain or wind...
no inherent meaning.
