RE: (TV) Amazon.com has a prodigal son

The thing that caught me about Tom's guitar playing is that he would seem to
stay in one "space" and just hammer on a note...then raise the tension some
more...stop...hammer on another note...then raise the tension...

Then, by some sleight of hand, I would realize the tension has been
released, but I didn't remember how he did it.

I bought and sold "Marquee Moon" so many times that I eventually
ended up with two copies in my CD collection at one point (I'm
embarrassed to say how often that occurs). I'm surprised to see
how many people were put off by TV's voice. I guess I came to
Television from the punk rock side, where Tom Verlaine's
whininess seemed okay. For me it was definitely all those scales
and guitar runs that I had to get over.
