Ho ho ho. Sorry Derek, you completely lost me with this one. I don't see where Tournesol is like FSOL, and to me the crappy Rap and aimless Jazzy noodling style is what is dominant on "Moonfunk", not the epic style of "Kokotsu". They changed completely between these albums - well, good for them, since changing is the challenge for all musicians - but unfortunately, they changed in all the wrong directions as far as I was concerned. 2/10 from where I sit ... - Greg
