Ja, all the squeaks are from the flute. Stryder had just gotten it and was still learning.

I was pretty desperate to find something of your music I would like and could write favourably about, as I think you're a great guy and a talented musician with some great (if odd) creative ideas. But I really struggled. I feel like a father listening to death metal and asking his kid why he can't play some nice rock and roll or something?

Maybe, maybe one day. Thanks for not being too offended though: I know this music is uber-important to you and I would not want to make fun of or belittle it, but this is the chance you take when you review the music of someone you know and respect.

On a couple of occasions my dad has asked me and my band why we don't play songs

And ja, you have to be thick skinned if you make this kind of music, even if it is your life. Imagine if John Zorn reacted negatively to all the criticism he gets, he'd have killed himself by age 25. Not to mention with all the **** I sling about bands like Marillion I should be able to take it as well as I give it.

You've always got the first two tracks along with Impressions (which I have you on record saying you liked, don't deny it) if you want to listen to the greatest recording artist of the 21st century.
