"Reading Articles about music can be like vacuuming the floor. My brain goes into energy saving mode. But every now and then a writer uses a phrase or takes a stance that forces me into paying full attention. Andy Morgan is in that select group"

"In twenty years of working with CD compilers, sleevenote writers and journalists I've rarely come across anyone so knowledgeable, so friendly, so passionate with such an understanding of the bigger picture and yet with attention to the smallest details.
