"This is by far my favorite Michael Manring album. These songs hit hard, orbit distant planets, travel through frigid environments...every one takes me to a different place. I have played this CD so much that my stereo doesn't even need the disk anymore, it has it memorized! *laugh*
If you don't have this disk you are -really- missing out on something very special."
Brilliant - deserted island must have disc

"I recently popped this into my cd player after not listening to it for a few years - this disc is a MUST HAVE. Truely brilliant - the ending half of You Offer Only Parabolas still gives me goose bumps.
Thanks Mike!"

"This is a great album; sounds very fresh upon each listen. In a time where Fusion was essentially dead, Michael Manring and co. (Tim Alexander of Primus, Steve Morse, and Alex Sklonik) create THE fusion album of the past decade. Manring showcases his stellar ability and creativity on the Bass guitar, particularly on the Hyperbass solo of "Monkey Businessman".
Stellar ensemble. Stellar album."
Unbelievable

"This CD changed my perspective on the bass guitar and music in general. I bought this CD in January 1995 when I was 17 years old and it is still my favorite CD to this day. Michael Manring is a genius, and a very nice guy...I got to finally meet him when he came to Asheville NC in the Summer of 2004 and he signed my copy of Thonk!! :) Anyway, if you are a bass guitarist, it should be mandatory that you own this CD!"
