"Johnny Flynn is wonderful, he is a real unknown gem. Friends with Laura Marling, personally i think he's more talented. His music is uplifting and tells a story. Go out and find this album, its a belter."  Reply

"Another fine Best Of. Their earlier albums aren'ttrong, and not always easy to find. Much better than the Greatest Hits that came out later...this one has most of the Guess Who you'll ever need. And Burton Cummings has a GREAT rock & roll voice!"  Reply

"Keith Jarrett and Jan Garbarek, unbeatable combination on this swinging output! A blueprint for Steely Dan's Gaucho? Great similarity on one track! An extraordinary recording with excellent musicians."  Reply

"A journey through sound and wonders. Easily one of favorite albums. When music is related to events of your life it really takes its power. I'm not able to listen to it anymore, but great work. If you life the soft side of Sigur Ros and ambient music, this is for you."  Reply
