"Listening to music I know well, I can definitely detect powerful subtleties, as on the Miles Davis album, In A Silent Way, I can hear Davis muttering instructions in the background. Joni Mitchell's vocals feel unquestionably powerful, while Eddie Van Halen's guitars shake the inside of my skull the same way they did when I was 14."
