What do you mean by "feeling," though? Are you talking about emotion?
That's dangerously subjective ground. In regard to the PBO 12", I don't
think it's very happy or very sad sounding or what have you, but that
doesn't make it less worthwhile. I like it a lot, although I wouldn't
consider it to be mind-blowing or ground-breaking. It may not be very
emotional, but much of it has groove. For me, groove (for lack of a better
word) is just as worthwhile as any other thing (emotional impact, for
example) that can be had from music.
