I, too, have just received a copy of Andre's CD and second everything Kim has to say about it. I had heard the previous clips on his site and dug them, but this CD is so much more. It has a real fresh feel and Andre's playing is absolutely incredible. I can't remember hearing this much great, inspired and original playing on one CD in a long time, let alone all from the same guy. And the atmospheric stuff is totally cool. I am truly impressed. Great job!
