But take in to consideration, I'm very critical musician, and I know whats going on out there in this genre (there are many players not as nearly popular as Hedges that are writing and playing great music). Which is always disappointing when it happens. I love solo guitar, and listen to a lot of it. This CD is just OK,I bought the CD cause I like the song Jitterboggie, and after listining to the cd a few times, its by far the best song.
Nowhere on the liner notes is there any reference to the tracks here being remastered, but I can assure you that they were and done so exquisitely. It's so nice to see a huge jump in quality on those great songs from "Breakfast in the Field" and " Ariel Boundaries". Most of you already know that Michael Hedges was a guitar god. The album "Oracle" was already one of my reference discs and this one surpasses it sonically. This is not a greatest hits cd, this is a must for audiophiles, especially fans of Hedges. I won't go into the music. What I would like to address is the audio quality of this cd.
I really like this style of guitar and have no regrets with my purchase.
I'll be starting coverage of Michael Hedges. Pretty intense sounds in this album. I just landed here. If this is considered New Age, then I am a newager.
Years after his untimely death, the music of this artist still towers above the pack.Also highly recommended: Areial Boundaries, Oracle, and Taproot. Michael Hedges, without exaggeration, was the most brilliant solo acoustic guitarist who ever walked this Earth. This CD is not only a great starting point for those who are not familiar with his work, but it is essential listening for anyone with general interest in the field of solo instrumental acoustic guitar.During his lifetime, Hedges was acknowledged as the "king of the hill" among an elite handful of guitar virtuosi.
