seems in this A.D.D. age of skipping through wave forms and files in a matter of seconds, it is a rare occurrence to play the same recording over and over in one sitting.
i personally sometimes decide against this practice even if i want to, because, you know, the pile of stuff i need to get through is not growing any smaller!
and on a maybe slightly or massively sexist note, in my experience it seems like girls listen to things repeatedly more - no doubt more attuned and connected to themselves compared to the voracious and blind information consumption of males. (and if that clarification didn't work, i'm wearing protective head gear so go ahead with the flying bricks)
so lets have them, recent ones or ones from the past, as well as theories and anecdotes whatever.
for me right now:
John Fahey's last album - Red Cross
Steve Lacy - The Window
Steve Lacy - The Holy La
Steve Lacy - Remains
bankolo miziki Vol. 1 & 2
in the past:
toumani diabate - Mande Variations
Taku Sugimoto / Kevin Drumm - Den
Scelsi - Complete Music for Clarinette
Takemitsu: I Hear the Water Dreaming
The Necks - Hanging Gardens
Cornelius Cardew - treatise
Oval - Systemische
Alice Coltrane - A Monastic Trio
etc...
