(well, everything excluding the live disc "Copenhagen") G-500 is beautiful and unsettling, simultaneously. This music will affect you mind, your soul, the course of your life.

And, apparently, made the music they wanted to make. Signature tunes are soaring and sad at the same time. So many good songs on these discs-- Blue Thunder, When Will You Come Home, Plastic Bird, Tugboat, 4th of July, Oblivious-- shoot, everything they did is good, good. Saw a car commercial the other day, the music playing in the background was "Instrumental" from _Today_. |
