Great album, and little known. Why is it not on Spotify? If for no other reason, you should listen to catch the superb Bigger, Brighter, Better. But Back to the One, Here Comes the Ocean, Reason for Living and Hymn to Grace are classics too. Search it out. It's worth it.
Your feedback for The North Star
A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
