I agree. I usually skip it. I also prefer the second album.

Wow. It's an underrated album but I think you're on safe ground that liking the second one better will be an unpopular music opinion.

Don't agree with you there but I respect it.

Martin Rev has a solo album, Clouds of Glory, that sounds as if it would be the soundtrack for the Twin Peaks arcade game or something. I find myself thinking I should like Suicide more than I do (I'll listen to them here and there), but I do actually like "Frankie Teardrop". Anyway Clouds of Glory is an album I come back to more; it's maybe less crazy but more paranoid than a Suicide record.

Spotify and other streaming services are inherently flawed systems as rights litigation results in an infinitesimal percentage of recorded music being actualy accessible to consumers via these services. It cripples the breadth and depth of cultural awareness, reducing it to a small fraction of licensable popular song.

It is equally misguided to think that such a service benefits the artists. Studies demonstrate that the majority of artists compensated by streaming services earn far less than minimum wage from their play count.

And streaming without actual ownership of media is dangerous to the public good. It conditions communities to be satisfied with paying for content that they never actually possess. This entrusts access to cultural works entirely to the whims of gatekeeper corporations which is never good for the artists or for their listeners.

Those who think that streaming is the solution for media consumption in the digital age are sorely mistaken.

Still, no disc or physical space for that percentage of music.

The consistent trend by which storage capacity is doubled in cycles of fewer than 18 months has rendered storage cost to be a virtual non-issue. And with the processing power of the $35 Pi 3 (1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU), it won't be long before mini PCs become ideal cost-efficient solutions for personal home media servers. Pair it with a 5TB disk for $120 and you're on your way.

My computer is a turkey sandwich. I can't afford these things at this moment, but $5 a month I can.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that musicians make any significant money from Spotify royalties. Many of them, however, think of streaming services as primarily an exposure tool, much the same as the role played by radio in earlier decades. People like myself use Spotify for pre-listening to decide whether or not to buy, and may also decide "Hmmm, wouldn't mind seeing that band in concert".
