THE STORY OF I

For most of those prepared to listen intently and with patience, this mammoth album will bring years of lasting pleasure. The first time I listened to it (on headphones) I was in shock. The stunning musicianship and inventive ideas were too much to take in in one listening. And it was too much to put back on again so soon! But I was hooked. The complexity gives way to that "Oh wow... how good is THAT?" kind of feeling. I urge you to give it time and listen again and again.

The Story of "I" is monumental. When you have allowed it under your skin you will know. It is one of my top 10 desert island discs too (out of thousands).

5 stars - no question. A stunning piece of music.
