I love the 'bigness' of the sound, it really can make you feel like you're going to burst your skin. <br />Unfortunately you're right about 'word-music' these days as a general form. The music has either been simplified to a cookie cutter basic for mass use in Churches or has been magnified into such chaos that it neither adds anything to the lyrics nor creates anything more than a bad headache in the listener. I haven't been able to throw out the lot entirely, though, as you have seemed to be able to. There are yet some obscure artists out there that still know how to accent the beauty of poetic imagery with melodies that rope your heart and imagination. When done well it can be stunning. <br />Kelci<br />(You should check out the Braveheart soundtrack, it doesn't have the largeness of Gladiators, but its interesting none the less.)Kelcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14130375852442565669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993089353959272585.post-78040293269246216862011-09-16T15:26:23.994-04:002011-09-16T15:26:23.994-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Max P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18295366691991885936noreply@blogger.com
