Bingo! That's why people are "amazed, dumbfounded etc." about the Stones (Like ROSmth one of the bands about who you refer)and their "magical" new singles. Strip away all or some of the gizmotic "essentiality" that has made recorded music something akin to tonal "Crisco Oil":since 1983 and Wowsa! This is incredible! It's downright revolutionary! Voices and instruments, from humans only and the sound causes goosebumps and chills down the spine? It"s verifiable evidently. It's brilliant. True genius!😂😂. 1970's ROSmth's sound was the most unaltered of all the Rock acts, and they reached top of the heap and stayed there. You can hear the picks hitting the strings and the point of impact when sticks hit drums ànd cymbals.😅 Music like everything else is cyclical . Maybe recording live will become a trend again. I'd love, to have that need to bolt to a record shop and purchase the song that just blew me away on the radio. Just one more time before I croak!😂 👍🎶
