Don't worry, I find Adam&Eve to be one of my fav albums and a top TFK releases, I am in the minority also not many if any here like that album.

I know people are upset that Bodin isn't around but have you listened to Zach Kamins' band, An Endless Sporadic? Brilliant stuff. The future of TFK looks very bright indeed.

I love Garden of Dreams. Unfortunately, IMO it's sorta all over the place direction-wise between "Did I Tell You" and "Shadowland".

yes its a cool song...

Which version do you prefer? The original "Flower Power" mix (1999) or the "Road Back Home" compilation mix (2007)? They are very different! The later one is shorter but powerful! Thumbs Up


I haven’t listened to the “Road Back Home” in ages so I’ll have to dig it out and listen to it and get back to you
