? is his worst probably. Too much metal, and the symphonic parts are reigned in because of it. Hmm, I should end on a good note. All of the Above is maybe the greatest non-classical piece of music I've ever heard. I've gone Starless when I'm in that darker mood, and Firth of Fifth when I want it slightly more adequate at the expense of some epicness (and the absurd jazzy piano solos).

Funny, I've always regarded Sola as more metal than ?

Yeah.. wouldn't call ? metal at all, a few heavier parts and that's it. Such a fantastic album in any case. 

been trying to fix a friends downward mind I loaned him one, sola and ? he as not yet been listening to them. still downward mind.             

yes his says he will be listening to two of the cd`s .

oh you like a bit of JAZZ

yes sola is difficult album to make. I`d heard interview with Neal too. Sola, One and ? are the three album`s of Neal`s I play most.

yessssssssssssssssss three super albums.

I just was thinking which album art is the must super one.
for me its SOLA.


the art work is out of this world . a lone monk sweeping I`ve had many a day thinking of getting it tattooed on myself.

when or where or if I do I`ll post it on website.
