As you see, tracklist is quite diverse. Some like this in an album, some not. I usually like albums with a certain theme throughout, but this album is quite special, as I try and hear good moves on saxophone, harmony and its groovy feeling. What can I say, it is in the nature of the Saxophone...

i hear voices that this is also in rapidshare, in APE format as usual, and as it always will be. Wow i started to like c^d rippers :)
