The Impossibility Of Reason

I don't know - I was listening to Hande Yener's great "Nasıl Delirdim", and for the first time (well, not really, that's a lie) I've questioned my ability of doing reasonable ratings on RYM. Because: This is a great album, and even greater - if you think about it - knowing what Hande Yener did before the release of this album (and here I have to say that the predecessors were great as well). Those albums were awesome Turkish pop, but ""Nasıl" is an electronic dance album with (and I say that having no insight on electronic music whatsoever) cool beats and also, oldfashioned beats (that I LOVE).

So, it's great. And I gave it 4 stars when I rated it a couple of months ago. And I think that 4 stars sort of 'feels' right, but then again, it's too good to only have 4 stars. Or is it? Is it 4 or 4.5?

If you know the answer to this very important question, please mail to unholy.winter@gmail.com and save me in my time of need.

(I kept the rating for now - 4 stars. But I don't know if that's the right thing to do).

Additionally, I found out that not just one, but BOTH of the Take That tracks I actually like are covers! BOTH OF THEM! 'relight my fire', as we knew, is by Dan Hartman, and 'could it be magic' is by Barry Manilow! Now, I didn't know that... I heard it tonight on Donna Summer's "Anthology" album, and thought it would be originally hers, but coverinfo told me that the original is by Featherbed (which apparently was an alias of Manilow). Donna Summer and another thousand people covered this song, and that's not the end of it: it features a citation (I don't even know if you can use that for music, my English knowledge ends here) of Chopin's 'prelude in c minor'... well, I'm totally out of breath now and can say that - again - I learned something new about music, which is so much more important than having a vast knowledge of Austria's history and topography. But that's just my personal opinion.
