[La Mano Gaucha]

I found the thread you were telling me about. Most of the composers mentioned on that thread make sense, but it's all too vague. There are no concrete suggestions on what to consider for addition, which would make things very hard for you at the store, especially so if you're not really familiar with the ouvre of each of those composers. Maybe you are -- I don't know -- so if that's the case, I'm sorry to presume.

Anyhow, the point is, don't you think that just a dozen or so major, standard works of the 20th century would make things even better? There're probably a bunch of people who would enjoy listening to ELP versions and original versions on the same session, just to compare them, for example. I think many would find them to be a cool and important addition to the roster. Besides, some of these 20th century pieces I had mentioned influenced Prog Rock profoundly and they are simply very, very great music; certain of these works, some of the finest music ever written, bar none. (In fact, nearly all of the works ELP dealt with are not of the first order.)

Again, I want to say that your site is phenomenal, so please don't construe my "criticism" as negative. Far from it... It's just a thought.

cheers,

LMG

PS: Have you heard of the Art Bears? They were great, especially the third album. "The World As It Is Today".
