Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) This album was on my wishlist already for some time after a first quick listen. Now, since Carsten Pieper purchased it today, I took a closer look - and indeed, it's an outstanding work that doesn't deserve to stay any longer in the queue! Dan "Birds And Buildings" Britton & friends draw heavily on the best moments of 70's art rock, but in a creative, individual way. Note that I chose the longest track as my favorite, which happens utmost rarely... and honestly, utmost rarely I have that much fun listening to a 21-minute epic. I fully agree with Carsten that the sound quality is of secondary interest, as long as the compositions are convincing. Actually, the sound isn't so bad after all - I've got some really poorly recorded an mixed albums in my collection, which I listen to quite frequently - because the music is just great. Favorite track: Reverse Solarity.

This reminds me of so many of my favourite bands of 70s prog glory, while still keeping a personal note - great!
