I can definitely see myself listening to Mojave3/Neil Halsted in 20
years. To me it's timeless music. I also think that Piano
Magic, "Son de Mar" has staying power.

I doubt I'll be listening to much "electronia" type stuff like
GusGus. Much in the same way I don't listen Colourbox or later
Wolfgang Press today.
