I hope it grows on me. Their earlier 2CD UtF was really good, but I found it was lacking something... Haven't gotten a chance to jump to the new Threshold, but I liked their last few releases. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bruce Duesterhoeft To: Multiple recipients of list Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2004 8:43 AM Subject: Flower Kings & Threshold Yo Jam, Very little talk going on here....everyone must be on vacation.

LOL, I don't know what happened to my original post after submitting it, but it definitely needed at least a decoder ring to decipher.
 
Thanks for the info, and keep up the good work. I really like the sound bytes I have heard at your web page. They definitely remind me of other great guitar albums like Steve Vai's "Passion and Warfare", and the like.

Wow. I didn't even know the FKs had a new one out.
