"I have been a fan of SFTG since "Kin" graced my speakers in 1996. Ive followed their career and enjoyed every one of their releases. Just when I thought their music could not get any better than "Luminal", I was blown away by my first listen of "High Rising". Wow! They really outdid themselves. The music just soars as the title so aptly implies. As anyone who knows their ambient/chill music must agree, "Triangle" from their first release is an alltime classic in the genre. Well, I do believe they have another classic in "Beautiful Feeling". When I first heard it, all I could do is shake my head and smile. This release is more laid back than "Luminal", and even more emotional. This is an instant classic."

If I ever get tied to the ground and a B52 bomber flies overhead and drops it's paylod of 100 megaton love bombs on my face this is the album I want to be listening to... and I hope the song Beautiful Feeling is playing when the first one hits me in the teeth because my smile is so large.
