5 stars I must admit that, on first hearing of the album, I did not notice anything particular with it. The songs just went along, and I was not listening to them with attention. But, after having explored the album methodically, song by song, and on its entire entity, after having listened to it for hours, I decided that it was really astoundingly excellent. This is truly a masterpiece. I love it from the frst notes to the last. The bass guitar on Formentera Lady makes me shiver. Song of the gulls is a delightful track - and the last one, Islands, is one of the most subtile and emotionnal thing I've ever heard. This album MUST be discovered. Listen to it again and again, till you're penetrated with the notes to your bones!
