The first time(and well hundreds of times since) Stella did it for me. I have an intense reaction to the song...i can't expalain but the fact that it triggers something in me says a lot for the transcribers of such a piece...same for the 'spaceship melody'(i think that's what its called) from the earthrise cd, and some spacetime continuum...the sounds must must be speaking to something else.... A track has to be more than just sound good to me, be more than just kinda cool, it has to evoke something for me to praise it...if the song can bring feelings to the surface that's the mark of genius imho
