xybert Out of nowhere, the album of the year. Seriously: thought 'nice' on first listen, now I can't stop listening. Perfect album length, perfect song selection (and sequence), just perfectly arranged and played. This album is a huge accomplishment, I NEED THIS ON CD. Hats off. Favorite track: Windows.

Gabriel Meyer I LOVE these arrangements, amazing album with amazing musicians. Favorite track: Windows.
