After hearing this I wonder what Brian Evensons book might be like, Im thinking of purchasing some later. This is an interesting record that took me a few listens to unfold entirely. The background ambience matches Evensons reading perfectly and it took over three years to complete. The stories are captivating and Id like to hear alot more than what is presented on this album. Its not really music, its like an voicebook with an background music. Fits well with quiet evenings lying on the couch in the dark with your eyes closed. I guess its not everyones cup of tea, but I love it.
