Hi jeff,
 
Good story.
As for myself, i have shifted my interest for new music a little bit during the last couple of years (decade) to other genres then ambient. Also the fact that less ambient music is released compared to like 10 years ago, does not help. Above that, i guess it is human nature to look back at stuff which was, in those days, realy good music. Also don't forget that most of us where teenagers, and the musical style was fairly new. I admit though that good music is still being produced nowadays...

gr, R
