    Of course it's disputable, - what price do you put on a golden sunrise or a spring daffodil? .. the 'value' of both is immense yet the cost is nil.

    Your mistake is to conflate 'cost' with 'value' in purely economic terms; appreciation of an art form is not irrevocably bound by your crude equation (even though art snobs like to think it is)

    Too much choice nowadays.

    I recall in my long lost yoof, some 35 40 years ago maybe, I had 39 different LPs of Bruckner's 8th symphony.
    Seguing into the too much choice of online streaming is a natural for me.

    Found it on You-Tube, does that count?

    Was hoping from the name that it might be some 1970s psychedelic funk along the lines of 'The Clones Of Doctor Funkenstein.'

    But it turns out it is church music.

    You mean it became natural after a lot of effort from me. Resistance was appreciable but inevitable assimilation was not!
