Title: A surprising classic ,,,
Product review: This is my first and only disc owned by OLP. I discovered it because I'm a fan of Ray Kurzweil and his philosophy regarding technology. So, unlike some reviewers, I found RK's spooky, spoken interludes to enhance the disc. The resulting combination is one of the greatest concept albums of all time (think, Dark Side of the Moon). It's filled with incredibly intelligent lyrics, delivered on the back of wonderfully layered music that never gets in the way of the message. If you're not prepared to be engaged, haunted, and even challenged, ala Paul Bowles or John Coltraine, this album might be too much for you. Since buying the disc, I've played it loud and played it often. Each listen reminds me that should RK's predictions come to fruition that our creations will surpass man intellectually, they never really will achieve the expressiveness, the capriciousness, even the mundane, that makes us human. This is purely beautiful, purely classic.
