“Music is about the Mind and Imagination…”

“But from a friendly, loved pop face, it constitutes a thoughtful proposal that this kind of contemplation of sound, involving the pure isolation of its surface, depth and mysterious presence, can be a discreet reminder of the experimentally achieved occult electro-sonic qualities that are a key part of pop’s appeal. It’s a polite reminder that music, however it is assembled, whatever it consists of, however it is classified, is about the mind and the imagination as much as it’s about buying, swapping, listing and grading music and reminding you of your past.”
