Brilliant answer to Moving Pictures! Unlike the records that followed 2112, which got more and more multi-layered and complex, which I really like (love Hemispheres and Farewell to Kings) Signals was not an attempt to "how do you top that?" I think that's what I really like about this album. It is not a follow-up to Moving Pictures.   

I have the UMS edition, can you tell us "Stange Strings" fans if the expanded version is worth the upgrade? Recently purchased the New World Records of  Being released at the end of February.   

Have been really enjoying this box set. I think I read somewhere that if Paul Desmond recorded a solo record that he was not allowed under contract to record with another pianist?  Cool with me. Jim Hall is fantabulous on these sides.  

A good portion of that set is unlistenable due to poor bootleg audio quality (it was a copyright protection set), but it tends to be very inexpensive for its size.  Do go for an expanded Cutting Edge set (I have the six-CD version).
