Comments on: My Fun — “Sonorine” http://startlingmoniker.wordpress.com/2007/08/16/sonorine/ Music reviews and sound-related thoughts from DaveX Fri, 25 Jul 2008 22:47:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU By: Sietse http://startlingmoniker.wordpress.com/2007/08/16/sonorine/#comment-7741 Sietse Sun, 16 Sep 2007 13:41:02 +0000 http://startlingmoniker.wordpress.com/2007/08/16/sonorine/#comment-7741 I think he talks with a bias against CDR releases because CDR's degrade. Their quality soundwise is in general not as good as a pressed CD. Indeed the review is quite weird written, but it's clear to me that the writer (Frans de Waard) is not native English speaking. But again, he says "certainly a fine release", so that's clear to me that he enjoyed it and is positive about it. Can't comment on the time he took to listen to it, but I guess enough time to build an opinion on it. Leaves me to say that I quite enjoyed the cd so far. Played it two times now and must say it's a really nice one. Even recommended it to some others already :) I think he talks with a bias against CDR releases because CDR’s degrade.

If that's not what the reviewer had in mind, it certainly could have been written more clearly. The rest of the review is so vague, however, I wonder if the reviewer took much time listening to the disc at all.

Maybe you might want to read it again and see the following: "His pieces are getting better, more complicated and better", "but within the frame My Fun is working, this most certainly a fine release" with a real CD he means "not a cd-r" release. I don't see anything wrong with that. Hm, maybe it’s me, but that review in Vital Weekly doesn’t look bad to me at all.
