This is another display of David Thornton's talent as both a composer
and director. The file is a non-professional conversion, and as such, is non-enhanced. You hear the "air noise", the hum, the ticks from a scratched record, even an occasional cough that exists on the source record. Current technology may deem the old methods lacking, but few artists today create and present works that are comparable to this. |
