Re: Rickter Scale Show 199
w00t! This was a blind buy based on a Greg/Synphonic recommendation and the PW review. Absolutely wonderful IMO.

The music creates a connected theme and story, so it's meant to be heard as one piece. A big tip of the cap to Mr. Magoo for this - I was unaware of their "existence"! Some parts have some gritty rock and roll, augmented by a violinist who has more of a "fiddle" sound (as opposed to a treated sound). Great record.
