Please to be listening...

and then buying...

and then listening a-gain.

I shan't bother with a review per se, save to say that I quite like it, because I will no doubt come across as a [more than usual] pretentious dick and, on a very deep and fundamental level, I have no idea what I'm talking about musically.

There are a few favorites to be sure - among them: damhsa na saorirse, between the rains, pukana la kalelea, welcome to funkstown, and, of couse, mele ho'oluluhi. The last being for our main squeeze Lauren. It seems to be helping - thanks.

It should be noted that this electrifying review has nothing, repeat, nothing, to do with the receipt of a free and much appreciated copy. If you want your own, go belay the artist for a few hours at -2 degrees in NH. I earned this shit.

And on that note, yes, I do appreciate the irony of writing a review that will be likely only be read by the artist in question, others that could be counted on one hand, and some spam-bots.

In all seriousness, congrats Mike. It's a fantastic listen.
