Someone mentioned a digest or two ago that Quiet Daze is Ian Pooley. I'm a
little shocked by this: the 'November' track on the Time:Space compilation
is probably my favourite, but Ian Pooley?...
Kind of goes to show how much opinions (well, mine at least) are swayed by
knowledge of who the artist is, because I'm sure if I knew 'November' was by
Pooley I wouldn't have liked it so much. I know the thing to do is judge the
music on it's own merits, but I'm being honest: it's hard not to be
influenced by all the stuff external to the track: the artist, the label,
the artwork, etc. All this stuff sets up expectations before the music kicks
in.
And I guess Ian Pooley has produced a track or two that stands up.
Cheers
Rol
