<3, to cede to peer pressure. ;) manu katché is awesome, but unfortunately, third isnt that good imo, doesnt come close to songs like "song for her" or "clubbing". and seriously that singer in one of the songs cant be considered good.

Fabulous..he "sky-rocketed to stardom" with Peter Gabriel, and now plunges to obscurity in the world of jazz..ha. What a great drummer, guy definitely has his own voice on the ride cymbal. Thank you last.fm residents for bringing yet another great jazz artist to my attention.

When I listen to that music and it's raining outside in the cold I feel there will be a summer again, maybe sooner than we'd all expect.
