I was answering your question above that's all. My answer was that I don't hear there's something better, and although many others do most of them are probably like me and have not listened in a controlled way, so it doesn't mean anything. I didn't imply anything else so calm down (that goes for you too Themis)! :) DeVerm;353063 Wrote: > > So you read that "extreme" part wrong as it describes the harmonic > signature of the instruments, not their deviation from many other > acoustic instruments... > In your opinion. I read "We used the gamelan music of Bali, which is extremely rich in HFCs with a nonstationary structure" to mean the 'music' is 'extremely' rich in HFCs with a nonstationary structure...because that is what the sentence says. I think it's possible they gave more away than they intended in that sentence, but I don't agree they meant something different to what they said.

I never said use the Gypsy Kings or Iggy Pop. In fact, it was me who suggested classical a few posts back!
