IED really cannot believe that he has to point out this obvious fact YET ANOTHER TIME for you dumbbells. He did NOT give arbitrary definitions of "quality". He made no judgmental remarks about the VALUE or "quality" of such properties as "sophistication", "refinement" and "complexity" AT ALL. This is QUITE DIFFERENT from determining the PRESENCE of and EXTENT of those properties in music. U N B E L I E V A B L E ! -- Andrew Marvick
