"Cherry Town" sounds as fresh today as it first did way back then in 1977. Definitely a case of music ahead of its time!

Saw him live tonight with Arke Quartet - Ive ordered Arkeology, and have a strooong feeling it'll be worthwhile. They were absolutely incredibly live - amazing compositions (a couple of which were written by the members of Arke. Heres hoping the cd lives up to the live performance - sadly, even the best cds struggle at that!
