Please. Enough! I have LISTENED WITH HEADPHONES on many occasions and I'm afraid to say its just too much atonal crap. Dear Franck/Zn'shñ, can you please learn how to keep a beat before subjecting people to this crap? (Hint: metronome). Also use of esoteric sound shaping/noise machines does not a musician make. Q.E.D.
