Maybe Dyke has too many of your relations in it for you to have an unbiased view.
Cheers

I am not talking about the interpretation of the
piece that may or may not be to everyones taste,
I am talking about the wrong rhythms from the Horns
and Percussion, The wrong notes that are played
in the Solos etc..
A quote from a recent mail from Graham Young on a
different topic states:-

It sounds like it after you listen to the CD.
Perhaps the quote should have read :-
BDM can learn to get to the end of a piece
in two rehearsals, it takes them a bit longer
to play it correctly though.
Thats fine if you want to record a CD and earn
a few quid. But if Black Dyke can't be bothered
to practice the pieces to reasonable standard
then I don't see why the rest of us should be
bothered to buy and listen to half hearted attempts
of test pieces.
