(Written by bpinto3) About ten years ago or so my father bought one of Spencer's Cds.His personal tastes was more classical than popular. But I also got a great deal of enjoyment out of the Portraits CD. His music is more conventional, that is, not really spacy, and all instrumental. A few people might say it sounds like "Your Local Forecast" on the Weather Channel. (I don't if that channel is helping or hurting this genre.)There is some subtle emotions. He is the artist I refer to when I post my music under "sounds like". His music is always worth a listen. Read more on Last.fm.
