most liked me the numbers without overdubs that in which the guitar and the akkustikbass elegiac two conversations, each tackling issues, communicate at a higher level. it would not have hurt, all the pieces to make so. anger annoying but that is not, and the relaxed atmosphere in which these have to be made recordings is felt in every note.

the sound is the same level as labels (Verve) correspondingly very good, the intimacy mediated uptake and near. only the high-frequency range is slightly underexposed, but on the other hand fits very well to this absolutely unagressiven music.
