Highly Questionable Music Suggestions.

Often when I peruse audiophile hardware reviews, in the review will be a mention of the particular selections of music used to evaluate the hardware.


Maybe someone is getting a kick back because I no longer buy those mentions before I carefully listen to them. Maybe those are well recorded “test” selections as an example, but lacking in any musical merit?  One selection I tried today today was techno disco babble, not even music. No lyrics, no melody, no harmonies and no voices.

 Allowing for different tastes and different generations still I wonder if I should trust this person’s ear/taste for any reason.

In reading reviews in the magazines, I usually go to Spotify to check out the music used by the reviewer in reviewing the product. Most of the time, there is no way that a competent review could be given considering some of the out-right crap these guys listen to. The same thing goes for music reviews in the back pages of the magazines. These magazines have become nothing more than advertising vehicles to make money.
