"I'm with Gary! Before anyone calls me a knob :) or says my comment is unhelpful let me try and put it in context.

"I recently became acquainted with the Neil Hannon project "The Duckworth Lewis Method" and was very impressed by the album. British music tradition in the vein of great songwriters like Ray Davies and Pete Townsend. I subsequently wanted to listen more closely to some of the recent The Divine Com..." [+] Reply
"I don't know how they can put out so much quality but they do and this is no exception. Slap after slap with no filler. The sounds of a band with a complete mastery of their output and an ability to do pretty much whatever they want." Reply

"A relatively forgotten classic. A few weak tracks, but so much beautiful music on here, Elton's debut would easily make my top 100. Highlights: "Sixty Years On," "King," "Border Song," and "Pilot.

"It was time for me to talk about Ra who is, in my opinion, the god of music, the greatest jazzman in history and the most original artist of all time.
