Actually, that also provides a good example of what Kim fears. While
there
is a lot of talent in Windham Hills and similar labels, there is also a
lot
of fluff that gets lumped in the same category. A lot of solo acoustic
guitar music gets put in the New Age bin, even though a lot of it doesn't
necessarily fit that style, preventing them from reaching the largest
market possible, in fact pigeon-holing them. This was a great frustration
for Michael Hedges and others. -- ernesto schnack
