Quote (nightspore @ Feb. 22 2020, 20:22) | I just noticed Mike's endorsement of RTO on this site: "Hope you will love RTO as much as I do". It struck me that this is ambiguous: it reminded me of Arthur Clarke's quoted comments on The Songs of Distant Earth: "It lived up to my expectations". A skeptic could read this as saying that Clarke (a musical conservative; he liked "classical" music, such as Debussy's "Prelude") wasn't expecting to like TSODE and in fact didn't. A way of "being polite" and "telling the truth" at the same time. io games
Presumably Mike does like RTO and does hope his fans love the album... and yet it's the only album without his signature tubular bells "seal of approval". I will now retire to the home for the terminally cynical |
I am not a fan of Mike but honestly, I love this album from him because it captivates me with its unique blend of melodies, powerful lyrics, and refreshing experimentation, pushing the boundaries of conventional music.
