Oh Brothers stuck in the time warp of the 50s, 60s and 70s soul, rhythm and blues era, I have failed to get even the slightest hint you will open up your closed dark hearts to the bright light of modern music, not even stuff from your millennium never mind the millennium the rest of us are living in. Through a few fixed thoughts you have limited yourselves to a small fraction of the musical enjoyment you could be blessed with. If you could just move from 'never' to 'maybe', a whole new world of musical appreciation could open up before you.
The world of acid, trance, tribal, trip hop, jungle, breakbeats, downtempo, ambient, freestyle, gabber, garage, house, deep house, latin house, happy house, minimal, new age, new wave, speed garage, techno and electro and dub versions will give you a warm welcome if you would just say 'maybe' and listen out for the magic within the sound. Oh well, I do not pity you because you have found your limits and have learned to live within them, so long may you enjoy your R & B. My feelings are ones of astonishment, amazement and surprise rather than pity, but also deep gratitude and thanks for my good fortune to be able to appreciate the ever expanding world of music and to discover more sonic gems every day.
But perhaps we can share the same sentiment - "This isn't sometimes this is always. This isn't maybe, this is forever, this is love."
