What's amazing about this collection taken as a whole is that the musical styles hold together so well while being so varied. "The Need To Be" might be cinematic in all of its chamber recital scope, but it has to stand alongside dirges, hip-hops beats, funk, and other forms. More than just hanging together, Etudes 4 Violin & Electronix makes complete and total sense. I might not have completely deciphered the story yet, but I'm getting there.
Hmmm, I wonder what would have happened if yesterday's "crack of dawn artwork" had been Poker-Playing Dogs?

That is way too early to be up and functioning, Saleski. Damn! I love albums that can contain varied styles and influences yet still sound cohesive.
Well done, Sir Saleski.
