und wer sie hier noch nicht entdeckt hat :

Zum ersten Mal in unserer Geschichte haben wir über hundert Instrumentalalben ausfindig gemacht, die am selben Tag veröffentlicht wurden – und das sind nur die, von denen wir wussten! Die Kunst des Kuratierens hat an Bedeutung gewonnen, da die Zahl der Rezensionsseiten gesunken ist.
Richard Allen @ Radiohörer Best of 2024

wie immer fundiert und : nehmt Euch die Zeit, es lohnt sich: auch von hier bestätigenderweise
mit den besten Grüßen und Wünschen nach dort: oder anders: das packt mich an!
