You can easily try anything I have in the top 15, you should like any of them. Thanks Slava, I might check it out (though I'm not the biggest fan of pure improv/free). Are the covers showing in my OP? I forgot RYM doesn't allow hotlinking, so they might not show up for you. |

^ That appears to be same system, giving stars out of five.

Yes but I more at peace with 5* meaning I love it than 5* meaning masterpiece |

^ If five stars is the maximum in your interpretation too, then it also implies masterpiece, whether you accept it or not. |

Yes, but a personal masterpiece and not an universal one. 4 stars is more obvious, in Amazon style it's I like it, in PA it's essential. So I can like something without considering it essential to others As I said I feel more comfortable with the Amazon rating because it's about my very personal impression, in PA I always start thinking is it really a masterpiece? or is it really essential? |

There is no such thing as a universal anything, let alone masterpiece

Ah yes! I definitely have to listen to it more. It has fallen to the wayside somehow. When I do listen to it, I do enjoy it though. So, for now, I cannot put it in the company above. :) ------------- That shows you the power of music, that magician of magician, who lifts his wand, says his mysterious word and all things real pass away and the phantoms of your mind walk before you clothed in flesh. |
