I like the sound, and most of the music, but the thing I struggle with is the lack of curation. Today as an example, some nice Jazz turned to some Metal in a few songs. I don’t mind either, but it’d be nice if there was more of a progression. It feels as if there’s just a big bucket of music and someone pressed shuffle.
Jus curious if it’s a popluar station / others can live with this.
I runs thru Naim Records portfolio & others, a mix of genre, classical, jazz, modern new age. sometimes I like it, other times not so much with the switching from classical to modern, I mostly prefer all classical or all modern, not the mix.
I’m a fairly regular Naim Radio listener and agree that the sudden switch of genre (jazz or classical to heavy metal) can be jarring. Might Naim consider separate channels ? … e.g Naim Radio Jazz. I suspect the ‘eclectic’ mix follows the original founder’s philosophy.
