It's not up to that standard, but so far, so good. The violin really cuts through the mix. 

I'm about half way through and I can't wait to get alone with it and turn up the volume.

I really like what I'm hearing...as you already mentioned: Peter Gabriel on vocals

I just ordered two Shaun Guerin solo discs. RIP

I think the vocal tracks for K2 were the last recordings he did before he died.

Danbo - the blurb says Okumoto plays piano/moog; this man is one of the best current players of Mellotron & hammond, too - do they not get a look in at all?

Well I managed to listen to the whole thing.It is very good ...very polished...although I found it all a bit 'samey' .Could have done with more variety in keyboard sounds perhaps?
