5 stars Can't I give this six stars?

I did not know you could do these things with music, until I found Birds of Fire.

Listen for the way that one instrument will blend into another.

This is a perfection of prog-jazz, where every instrument has equal value, and is played with exceptional ability. Yet the sheer and awesome technical prowess is naver allowed to get in the way of producing fine, inspiring music. Yes! This album is actually pleasant listening, if you can keep it in the background! But you will be drawn into the interweaving and counterpointing. If this album was a novel, they'd be writing doctrates about the inner meaningof each phrase.

Lose yourself in her.
