Another creative beauty! If you could only have an opportunity to develop your music in a top level studio! "Sky high" is great, "Ever in joy surrounding" is fantastic! Thank you, Nelson! Dejan

Too much repeative stuff.

I began listening to Nelson's music in the 1980s, when he was fronting a band called Sincere Fibers, and playing Orange County venues like the Inferno, Safari Sams, and of course, the garage across the street from where I lived! So I got a fairly good dose of his stylings, and spent many an hour listening to Fibers tapes, (tapes I own to this day) just spacing out to them, really! And I still love his music for that very reason, it's seldom jarring, and even back then, when a song or two that could have worn the "punk" mantle, were both tongue-in-cheek and relevant enough to turn into real crowd pleasers! But as this album winds up, I am already contemplating upgrading the rating to a nine, in spite of my obvious bias. The song "I Find it Strange" just ended, so I should know soon. What the reader should understand, is that though I can edit this, (and will) it is actually highly appropriate that this review be written in real time at high midnight. Because that is exactly what this music is for: living your life in the now, and unwinding in the now. Back in the day, I sought meaning in the music of Sincere Fibers, and was not disappointed. Now I do not, and I remain a satisfied listener. Zero Point: a truly great album, which I am now going to rate a Nine, in spite of my bias, because I'm afraid that after a few more listens on the ol' iPod I might regret not having done it later! Besides, it's free! —G.D'R
