Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I heard some of this at Renaissance HiFi a few months ago when visiting, Sean put it on and said "Have a listen to this, I think you will find it interesting". I was immediately taken by its dynamics and the beauty of the music and singing, even though I don't speak or understand Hindi, it is a mix of traditional and modern Indian music, and some has a Jazz feel. It has some extremely deep speaker pushing bass from drums and other instruments, and is very rhythmic.
I spent a while hunting it down on LP, and it is not an easy find, in fact I resorted to ordering it form a chap in Mumbai, Faiz was very helpful, it was well packaged and arrived in 5 days, and not too costly courier. If you are interested PM me I will send you his details.
This recording and transfer to 180gm vinyl is done by Sony and it is truly stunning, the dynamics and presence is some of the best I have heard, and a very quiet record. I have only listened to one side so far and I know it is one of those albums that will be listened to often and used for test listenings. Worth every penny 2,999.00 Rupees.

I usually play a few tunes on the bedroom system as a precursor to the land of nod (at quite low volume) but on this occasion my listening session was curtailed. My mint condition 1991 Pioneer receiver seems to have lost a channel. I went off to get a substitute amp & started plumbing it in then realised it was, by now, 3:30am & perhaps it would be a good idea to go to bed
