Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

You should hear the Emma Kirkby/AAM version, sublime. I can imagine what the ECO version sounds like...Originally Posted by AJSki2fly

ECO version or not it still is impressive, although not my wife cut of tea at all.

I seem to be exploring and enjoying plain chant and polyphonic chant. This recording is rather lovely, very relaxing.

this is very good but annoyingly seems to be noisy vinyl from the 80's, and I have wash cleaned it twice just in case.

It's called the Scottish these days, never understood why Scotch was considered offensive maybe one of the Scottish contingent can explain.Just marvellous,

AFAIK, 'Scotch' is Scottish whisky.

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!”
