Reviews of CD Self-Portrait (2004)
Dave. Dude. Wow. I just listened to your Self-Portrait album, and it was so good I'm listening to it again. I'll tell you, I'm picky about music, and I really found this quite engaging. I had started to read something while I was listening to it and no, it demanded my full attention, I had to put the reading down. (It was a really interesting article about brain parasites affecting our behavior--they say maybe 40% of people are actually infected! But your music was even more interesting than that, it won. So you should be proud.) Definitely looking forward to hearing the one that's coming in the mail sometime. —Misha F.
