RE: finally!

actually, if you listen closely, Fairpoint Diary has a drumloop too.
Actually, i'm not wholly convinced that the whole song wasn't sequenced on a
sampler, if you concentrate on the drumming, it's not complex at all, no
flair really. I guess because i'm drummer i notice those things. Not that
it's a bda thing., the focus of that song is really the bass, guitar and the
rhodes. And Karin's vocals. And her teeeeensy toy piano part. :-)

Finally, FfR has arrived.  Currently Karin is
emphatically wondering "will it make a difference?"
she wants to know.  i know what she means.
her voice continues to drip with such instant emotion
and i'm still amazed.

two songs with drum machines! wow. i can't believe
none of you mentioned this in the glut of reviews i've
been reading on this list (or maybe i missed it).  but
i'm glad for not having known.  it would undoubtedly
have made me a bit suspicious of the entire album.  as
it is, the songs were able to sort of sneak up on me
and before i realized what was going on they'd already
won me over.

highlights after a couple listens:
If Nothing Else
Fairpoint
I Radio Heaven
Little Blue River/In the Garden
Goodbye
Moth
When I Go

I'm fairly certain the others will begin to speak to
me over time.

Jay
