What’s your favourite music?

By Erik van Rossenberg

It always annoys me when this question is popped to fill dead air space. To be honest, I don’t know. Any music will do, although classical music does not rank high. Of course, there are some skeletons in my cd-boxes that fill me with shame, but still I listen to these now and then and on many an occasion this will give them a new quality. Normally I will play one album over and over again for weeks, if not months, just because it capturesĀ a mood on more than one level. I remember writing my MA dissertation on one record, but strangely enough I don’t remember which one. Which doesn’t really matter, because these times have gone. The other side of this overindulgence in one record (or the other) results in neglect of the larger part of my collection. I’d like to apologise to all records concerned and hope that they will tempt me into overindulgence when their time has come.
