There was no pretense in my post, and as far as pontificating... I could take that from almost anyone else on this forum, just not from the arch-pontiff.
Now, I agree that "single note NON-legato sampled choir that is wordless OR with words SUCKS big time". When did I say any differently? All I was doing AFTER CONGRATULATING the company for its new release, was nudging them to invent something like the VI player that would add words-capability, to what I am sure will be an excellent choir box, consistent with all their hitherto releases. As a long term customer, I also added that I would wait until then to purchase their offer; I am sure VSL welcomes all market-share wishes and comments. If I am the singular minority in this, then great for them, I'm very sure by now they know what they are doing.
As far as their "contributing to Wordless Choir Banality", they are doing that inadvertently, by providing supremely untalented composeurs the tools to subject us to such turgid abominations as are most B/C-grade movie-soundtracks. People don't know how to evoke fear, greatness, or a religious experience without immediately resorting to the wordless choir... Such falling back to the cliche, to the absolute lowest common denominator compositionally infuriates me! And - like I said before - that is allowing for the odd exception. However, that was a bit of a joke that was lost on most it would seem. I just wish I can avoid listening to the compositional hilarities that will spring from this latest release. I can only hope that at least one of the upcoming demos will be a JB rendition of a tasteful piece, and after all, everyone here has been allowed to voice their aesthetic opinions forcefully, and often aphoristically. I don't see what should keep me from doing it.
