these kind of thoughts refer to the thoughts about the importance of music. Then, there's an important mention to the availability of obscure music — again, the theme of ease of distribution —, and it finishes with a note on the possibility of music going missing.

I still have these kind of thoughts, and they still seem important – but with the knowledge that they now are drowning in a world of instant ratings, Amazon reviews (no offence), perky spirit raising and scrappy, aggrieved, populist shouting. Something about the fact that obscure, difficult music is now within easy reach – with a few touches on your phone and the ability to fund the many subscriptions – is fantastic, but it also makes me sad. It’s progress, and you can never deny that, unless you’re not thinking very deeply, but it’s also a regression, possibly even a betrayal of all that imagination and ambition that led to the music existing in the first place, something that makes you think about what happens if music goes missing.
