Re: [microsound] Take Rafael Toral elsewhere?

Music should speak for itself. 
Diatribes, commentary, liner notes, reviews, are obsolete.

I enjoy the new Toral, it's not groundbreaking however. I just find his work listenable, intriguing, and it matches my couch.

very well said. exactly my thoughts as well.
thank you for this, ralph.

ps: by the way i even think i would like the album better
if he wouldn't have said or written anything to it, but just
would have left it as his next step or next release...
