Me, too.
"Play in the Rain," after all, is the only link this album has with the work of Varèse & Salzedo. If we get rid of it, there goes the only connection in all of Lindsey Buckingham's music to the pioneers of the "Liberation of Sound" movement & their break from European influences & their paralysis of the tempered system.
Might Varèse actually have been
speaking for Lindsey Buckingham, when he told a group of students & professors in 1939: "When you listen to music, do you ever stop to realize that you are being subjected to a physical phenomenon? Not until the air between the listener's ear and the instrument has been disturbed does music occur. In order to anticipate the result, a composer must understand the mechanics of the instruments and must know just as much as possible about acoustics. I need an entirely new medium of expression: a sound producing machine (not a sound reproducing one)"?
