Over on the Hoffman forums, they're singing the praises of this date, with a few going on especially about audio quality on the LP version.

First couple of tunes are good. Then it gets more average.

NP:

Another terrific O'Connell disc.

I decided I have to like this cd because my wife plays it over and over starting at Thanksgiving on the Bose CD player I got her because she refuses to learn how to operate the living room stereo.

I put this on and two minutes later my dachshund Fiona is out like a light. It's actually not bad, the piano and harp and guitar are recorded well, and the playing is very understated and melodic.

I was lucky to see Mr Five by Five when he toured in the UK with Humphrey Lyttelton's band in 1958.

Apparently, the band were worried that the great man wouldn't find them up to scratch, although they were at this time very KC oriented. So they played something and Jimmy said, "It's the real home cookin', you know?"

I remember the exitement we all, who had purchase Agartha when it came out, had then some insiders told us about Pangaea. It was on Sony CBS Japan, like "Dark Magus" and just great.
