Contemporary VS Classical

In the period where more people tend to recite the Qur'an following the melodious styles of contemporary recitors such as Shaykh Mishary Rashid al-Afasy, I seem to find more peace, comfort and tranquility in the classical recitations the likes of Shaykh Shuraym, Shaykh Mahmoud al-Husary, Shaykh Abdullah Basfar.. the style of recitation that those lovers of Mishary might find boring or monotonous..

But it is in these classical recitations that somehow I feel the beuaty of the Quranic recitation with clear tajweed.. unlike the contemporary ones which at times sound like mere melody.. especially when recited by imitators who perhaps tend to follow the melody more than actually paying attention to Tajweed..

I don't know.. it's just what i feel..
