tony chicarello (April 19, 2008)

This album is truely a creative masterpiece. Parsons choice of vocalists is excellent, and of course the recording is flawless.
The cd sounds excellent, sharper and clearer than the vinyl. A truely
enjoyable album, from start to finish. I highly recommend this album to anyone who likes to sit back and listen well constucted, perfectly executed music. Even better through headphones!

If you know this album you can review it.
