Almost forgot about this thread:
Hey, Original Cinema is an ace from start to finish. I hesitate to claim a favorite so soon - I'm on my fifth listen of the entire CD and have not replayed any one song - but so far, while I've enjoyed every one, Funky Tina is the one that jump starts my engine more than the rest. And that whole sequence from Party of Seven to Getaway is a series that rivals Heart of the Night in terms of most consecutive, exceptionally written and performed songs on one disc. This is after having it less than 24 hours and without cranking up the volume. By this time next week, that number might grow from 8 to as high as, hmmm, 13?
I said this elsewhere on the board, but it's worth repeating:
Nearly every album, no matter how good, has at least one sleeper - a song that, while it's good, is one you don't mind skipping if you're making a mixtape and have to leave something out because it won't fit. Asian Trilogy from Kenny Garrett's "Happy People" is a perfect example. I like it, but when I realized my tape was about 4 minutes too short, Asian Trilogy was the song I chose to leave out.
And of all of Spyro Gyra's albums - not counting those with 8 songs or less - there's always one song that's expendable should I run out of tape.
Not this time. EVERY song gets in.
