"excellent. "c'mon" is a very satisfying, challenging record that continues the tone set on the final track on "it all has to do with it". a variety of acoustic instruments pendulum between quiet, meditative (even pastoral) movements and somewhat frantic, repetetive exercises where fractions of degrees off of the initial trajectory result in wildly variant destinations. sometimes within the same song. "it all has to do with it" was one of my favorite records of last year (yeah, yeah, it came out in 2000. i didn't get it till early 2001. shut up, you.) and i can tell after only a half dozen listens that "c'mon" is going to be just as important to me. oh, funny thing: i picked up "c'mon" at the HMV on fifth avenue here in NYC and it took me a long time and many clerks to track it down. because they had it filed under 'easy listening' with vaughn monroe and mitch miller. ha! it ain't black sabbath but it sure ain't easy listening either."
