Among all things we don’t have time to do, there is this moment of sitting on an armchair in an imaginary living room (the reference is to Artificial Intelligence, right? What a wild name for that album, which has nothing to do with AI), listening to an album in a great sounding stereo system. And this music, at that moment, is the most beautiful thing in the world.
