If one truly loves the versatility and beauty of the guitar than this album, and the entire repetior of the LAGQ, is an invaluable asset. They yet again astounded me with their fearless headfirst dive into uncharted territory with dazzling effects. I thoroughly ...

I'm not from NYC but heard these guys in New York a few weeks ago and bought their CD and have listened to it many times since. True, it's not Christmas as I write this, but that really doesn't matter--this music doesn't cover jingle bells and snowmen but many hundreds ...
