Wow. This is an interesting album. I've seen these guys live and the precision and perfection of their playing is as I remember it but here, in service to a new direction, an unexpected one at that. Warm and personal and sometimes downright weird, it's a good stretch and a departure for this band. Not sure I agree with the genre; this isn't a purely classical album---and for me, at least, that's one of its many pleasures.

So Percussion lets their standards slip on this album. Their playing is, of course, without reproach. But their selection is suspect to say the least. Lets just pass on this and wait for the next one OK? -Bz

A really fun, interesting listen. So Percussion always manage to beat my expectations by moving in different and unexpected directions.
