I once played the title track on a guitar I was thinking about purchasing, and it impressed the store owner enough to make him come over and ask what it was. I bought that guitar and still play it. It always reminds me of that day.

Horizon is one of my favorite pieces to play on guitar when I am in a guitar store, however no one ever asked me what I was playing. :/
Don't get me wrong, I like the music, it just a thin sounding album to my ears. It doesn't make me dislike the music, just that while listening to it I always feel it could have sounded better. I've strained my ears on even worse recordings on YouTube. So its not disliking lo-fi recordings, probably I am more to accustomed to studio recorded guitar albums, and secretly wish that Bay of Kings was one of them. I've heard Julian Bream and Christopher Parkening record in a church with a high vault ceiling or large room for the effect of reverberation that a spacious room provides and the quality of the recording still comes out sounding a little bit fuller.
