I like Playford, Praetorius etc, but Dowland leaves me cold.

Bought a Dowland LP in a car boot a few years ago to see if any of the pieces were playable (pinchable), but found that it was difficult to distinguish any actual tunes - they were more a "Stream of Consciousness" than tunes. A bit like Wagner - always promising to reach a really rousing tune but never quite getting there (with a very few obvious exceptions)! Tried the Dowland LP at 33 rpm, then 45 rpm, then, in desperation 78 rpm - still no recognisable tunes!

Sorry folks.
