I'll vouch for that. I've been focusing on "early" music, much of which is of the Gothic type that Margo champions, for over 2 years now. It intrigues me, but I have to say I still don't quite "get it." It sounds weird in a deep way, if you know what I mean. Even so, I like 81:64 thirds, where appropriate. They've got guts.
