@craig - I'll have to listen to it some more because I couldn't turn it up enough to hear enough of his words. The music reminded me of what I liked about Dark and Twisted Fantasy.
Feel free to assume that I am listening to this box at various times in the coming weeks. Especially of an evening when the red wine beckons, but maybe in the daytime too.
@Greg, thanks for the post on Passenger. I am not familiar with this artist but, of course I had to check it out since you said it was one of your best recent purchases. the samples sound good. I am amazed at how much this guy sounds like Kae Sun. Link
@Kez - he's been around for several years now, but without much success - this current album was released in October last year, but has only recently charted. I first heard about Passenger a couple of weeks or so ago when one track was the UK iTunes song of the week. Usually I only get as far as the sample without downloading. This time I liked it so much that I investigated the album on emusic and downloaded that too. Now I've also downloaded his first album, there's another too but I'll have to get that from Amazon as emusic don't carry it
