I'd also say listening to it on the wrong format as well. I've always thought that
this type of music never really works well on the radio. I'm no expert but subtle
changes to recurrent themes and also to recording levels aren't best suited to
radio play, making the whole seem repetitive and tedious which it definitely isn't
IMO of course.
BTW just picked up the new Jim O'Rourke CD and I have to say it's the best
record I've heard this year.
