What a marvelous keeper of feelings music can be! I have been listening closely for some days now to my 1987 page, and it's been fascinating to experience, like a snapshot frozen in time (or maybe more like a hologram, with all those rich layers of association - didn't I have a holographic eye pin once? -), all the positive emotions these tracks can evoke. And it's true of other eras I revisit. Even if some of the performances are dreadful, the underlying energy is still there, preserved as if in amber. That's not an inappropriate metaphor, when you consider the color of recording tape.
