I'm glad you don't take it the wrong way. The main reason why I wrote it
was the general lack of feedback you had received.
I do like some uneasy music as well, but a rather different kind, and
only about once a month. I'm more on the noisy side of things, I love
Maurizio Bianchi's "River of water of life" for example.

Well, last time I posted music on a ML it killed the thread, and next
time you can smash me into the ground if you want to ;)
