That may have been me....
The album may not be for the purists, but when it comes to brilliant
orchestration, top-knotch sequencing, and even a fine voice, Mike Kandel
really won me over for this release. I mean, I wouldn't in a million years
use the word cheesy to describe this disc.... because it's so slick and
subtle. Tranquility Bass doesn't grab you by the head and toss you around,
it just slowly grooves along nicely....
By describing the disc as cheesy, well... it certainly shows what little
appreciation the above poster has for good music. :)
