I knew neither the actors nor the singer Downey. But after I had seen the movie "Good Night, Good Luck" with RD, I became aware of the plate. And I must say that I have such music does not expect - not hit parade, but very personal, harmonious sometimes quite complex harmonies and good lyrics. One should beware of comparing and let the music speak for itself. I have the same board included in my top 50 list - "The Futurist" is better each time you listen. If RD carries on as a musician after this excellent debut so, he has a great career ahead of him.
