Everyone doesn't have to be the same. If a lot of you guys want a preview listen first, and to read up a lot more, more power to you. Just don't complain about the lack of mystery though. It's your choice.
I'm sure I have a ton more information on the Tsetse Fly at my fingertips than I ever did in the past. Doesn't mean I'm going to read it though....Know what i mean?
Yeah, but I also remember in the Chatzy days you going on buying jags based around one or two guys who were tangential pieces of different records. You didn't get that information from a "minimal reliable filter".
Sure i did, or more to the point knowing that one or two guys contributed became the minimal reliable filter.
I don't consider merely knowing that someone produced the record or made a guest appearance on it killing the mystery. Reading volumes of highly descriptive reviews and even more so, listening to samples or a trial download is what would kill the mystery of the first listen.
