Part 2: Music

When I said above that the music played at CES 2006 was the strip-music then I was not lying. I have seen a Moron who was jumping form room to room begging each vendor to play for him the soundtrack of the depth-chargers for U-571 movie. The vendor’s music was not much far. The typical crappy jazz or the insultingly up-closed recoded strings. Some of the vendors (and the vendors with the “big names”) had even no classical repertoire among the music they brought to the show.

The vendors who had some remote signs of consciousness used different type of music to hide to problems they have with thier system. “ Today we play juts lute music or the sole piano for the right hand only”. Any more or less demanding performance took the system apart, literally. You really could not blame the system’s hosts for what they did arranging simple music to mask out the system’s problem. Still, spending 3 days at CES I did not heard any single recording, played or sold that I would be interesting even to ask what it was. I presume that luck of any desire for people to bring up an interesting material came from the generally very poor sound at the show? Perhaps, but I have my reasons to doubt that it was the real reasons…
