Bright or Dim?

Have you ever noticed that when listening to music in your listening area that music seems to sound better with the lights down? To me there is a rather noticeable difference. Could be just in my mind because that's how I like to listen, or is it something more biological/scientific than that?  Could it be that the lessoning of one sense enhances the other? Maybe it's just me. Anyway I thought I would see if anyone else has the same experience. Im sure if there is an actual reason for this phenomena, that someone on this forum will have the answer :)

Thats whats up. Congratulations. You deserve to to exactly what you want to do if you have worked to be able to retire. I want to be just like you when I grow up :) Your not old...you’re wise. How about that.

Ok so I think this is in line with this topic. I have incorporated a lava lamp into he equation. With the lights even dimmer and the lava lamp on makes quite an interesting way to listen to your favorite music (mine being jazz) not sure it would have quite the same effect as listing to Rock.. 

Ok So here is a question. Does the genre determine if the room is better dim or lit? I would think Rock especially some Stones or Hendrix for example would maybe sound better in a brighter environment. No?? How about Sabbath or Parliament.. Would that dictate?
