I find Mike's statement rather strange.  "Tension-Release" has to do with
musical contrast; eliminate contrast and we will be left with monotonous
music.

Who are the folks tired of tension-release? I don't know anyone who has
suggested dumping it, but Mike's breadth of human contact might well be
greater than mine.
