Meh.
I have nothing against poetry, or an audio book, but at least neither of those have the pretension of trying to be music. They're just ... poetry and fiction. If they put music in the background I'd probably be distracted.
Here's my favorite poem. Nothing wrong with this. Here I can pay attention to the words themselves.
However, once you place some music in the background -
especially a piece of music I like (here, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata), I find myself distracted and pay as much, if not more, attention to the background music as I do the poem. This is the same experience I got when listening to the rap songs someone asked me to review a few pages ago.
