Henry Gould writes today: "Paterson : too much the willed effort? A rush job. Didn't soak the guitar wood long enough. Plays on the surface - drab, prosaic."I get a kick out of H Gould and his well-thought considerations. I think Henry well hits the nail head, and that's not to say I don't love WCW. Paterson has its moments but it is also WCW noticing the competition too much. his best work would be when he didn't need to soak the guitar wood for long (nice metaphor, btw). when he up and tries to accomplish something grand (say the 3 pieces in Imaginations other than Spring and All and Kora in Hell), the effort shows.
