Andreas Taber funk jazz rock software

A Masterpiece I write this review for those not so few of you who have never heard about this once great power rock trio.  For those of us who are fortunate to posses a wonderful sound system, be prepared!  This music will take you to a whole new orbit.  The quality of the song writing and musicianship is incomparable to anything before and after Rush.  What makes this CD so superb compared to their previous productions is the musical precision i.e. only the best notes, the length of each song, identifiable melodies, easily understood lyrics and the phenomenal interplay between the musicians.  There is so much great material here that one can learn something new each time you listen. I hope those of you that listen to it feel the same way I did the first time I heard it. Goose bumps come to mind.
