RP introduced me to them. Now, I have 6 of their tunes on "My Favorites" list. That is why we come here.  Thanx RP!

Bumped from 8 to a 9 this morning as I am about to bury another family member with Irish roots this is very appropriate.

Captivating, nonetheless

This straight after Sigur Ros and I thought “ah Bill’s playing some Olafur Arnalds to keep the Icelandic thing going”. Wrong, but did remind me to listen to Mr Arnalds again.

Heard that song in here, too, but I've only ever heard it by Johnny Mathis (I think) ...

Good lord, they stole this album cover straight from Dave Matthews.

Speaking of the hour before dawn, isn't it time for some Madrugada?

This playlist is great and all but for the a.m. a little slow...please pick it up before I go to sleepy sleep. {#No}

In listening to a good piano piece, I can close my eyes, drift off some place between the dark and the dawn of consciousness, floating along, lost forever in the cascade of time. {#Yes}

I think that this piano motif is lifted from Keith Jarrett's 70s album the Koln Concert —- only an eighth note has been changed.

Anybody else hear it?

saddest track on this album, not representing the average

this one annoys me.

A very moving piece.

Whew! Sweet relief after that last horrendous song from Sigur Ros.

Haunting - reminds me of camping trips waking on a misty morning and looking across the fields to a quiet river - bliss

I'm reminded of a girl I knew in college who used to let me listen to her practice the piano in a common area at 2:00am. Beautiful.

Just found the 128AAC connection and I think I can hear the felt of the hammers hitting the strings of the piano.

Beauty to listen too, yet the music indicates there is more to come. Love it.

Bill, you should play "Nature Boy" (Ella's version) after this!

Feels more like music to take laudanum to and then to write epic poetry to. Yes, I know. Ended with a preposition. However, the formation "music to <infinitive verb> <noun phrase> to" is too atomic in my mind.

This is amazing. Is the rest of the album like this?

Very soothing for this cool, foggy day. It helped me find the zen state that I need to be in to do my seating charts

Haunting; it brought me in from the other room to find out what Tori was up to this time.

Yes, good music! But for working? I stoped me from work because I had to browse the web to learn more about the artists.
