Beautiful essay on the value of thoughtful collecting. I will sometimes spend time just looking at my small collection of vinyl and cds. I’ll think I want to listen to something, but I take the entire time trying to decide what to listen to and just enjoy thinking about it. For my favorite records you could even say I don’t need any media. I can listen to them all in my head!
Love that “Medieval Experience” box set. Listened to the vinyl a lot back in the music library in college. Still have some tapes I made from it. My favorite Ockeghem Requiem. Very uncommon performance because it includes instruments…which purists would probably reject because all sacred music was vocal only. But that’s what I love about it.
I have that Steven Wilson Vienna and I wasn’t impressed either but I thought it was just because I wasn’t in the mood for Ultravox at the time. Perhaps I should try a different mix.

I would go back to the 2000 CD. I was surprised how much better it sounded. The Steven Wilson mix was unengaging.
would help if you explained what 'atmost' is...
