Thank you, all, for your hospitality! I'm sorry it took me so long to reply-- life sometimes has a habit of getting in the way.
At any rate, I continue to love listening to DS-- to be honest, I haven't done too much listening to Mark's solo stuff (don't hit me!)-- I keep thinking that when I'm "tired" (hah!) of DS, I'll delve into the solo stuff, but so far, I haven't gotten tired of it at all, and, frankly, I doubt if I ever will. DS has so much depth and is so intricate and beautiful, that I can't wrench myself away.
I did watch the beginning of "Wag the Dog" the other night, and the film opened with this gorgeous, delicate music. Of course, the music was Mark's. He is incredible-- other than Ray Davies and Pete Townshend, I can't think of anyone who can hold a candle to him!!
Cheers,
