What did you expect? I like it. Especially with Levin/Harrison, there's going to be some serious fusion going on.

Sounds pretty close to what the KC store described.

Ambiental/riffing experimentation, or something like that. Not that kind of melodies and that kind of sax tone of playing (fuzzaky is you ask me). I'll probably like it, I'll just have to wait a bit to get over the unfulfilled expectations moment.

Didn't see that, looks like an accurate description indeed judging by the sample.

Not crazy about the sample, I hope the rest of the album is a bit better. But maybe I just need a bit of time with it... I´m still gonna get it!

The sample has still not digested after quite a few spread out listens... I'm trying to like it, and failing thus far!

i thought it was ok, I could sense the King Crimson feel. I think there will be better songs on the album.

It sounds more like David Sylvian's work than Crimson. Not bad.

Trust me. I know what I'm doing.
