I can now die a happy man now that I know what Heaven is really like. This is just beyond any description. I could pick out individual sections like Cory's solo or that indescribable piano section, but the entire piece is so BREATHTAKING (I don't know what other word to use) that you just don't know where to start. After listening to this (and Lingus and others), I would have to say that this is the greatest musical CONCEPT of this century. All of these beautiful, talented young people should just be put in a sealed container and preserved for all eternity. I have a feeling that very soon they (and especially Mike League) will get the musical recognition they deserve.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Thanks for posting this, Nigel.

Stripped down, this work reminds me of the multi-movement work of Corea in the 80's.

Wonderful, positive proof that innovative music with structure and substance is alive and well, thanks to folks like these.

The surprising thing is, they're getting a lot of recognition.
Bet the money sucks, and that's a shame!


Thanks, Nigel!
