I did something I've never done before. I bought a CD on the recommendation of someone who has never heard the piece.

I received the "Sneakers" CD from Amazon yesterday and have played it complete 4 time and the recommended track 4 "Cosmo...Old Friend" numerous times. I am at a disadvantage at this time as I am in Los Angels and my signature system with its 4 subs is in Las Vegas. Therefore I'm listening on an analog system with Pioneer S1-ex speakers. These Andrew Jones designed speakers are quite good but their bass is -3dB at 28 Hz.

When you say this was recorded in a large facility, I believe you. I felt like I was two thirds of the way back at the Hollywood bowl on a night when the coyotes were sleeping. The drum beat is as advertised, repeating and resonant. I would not use the term "killer" with "Cosmo..." as the drum was beat softly. I would say the CD would be best loved by those who enjoy classical or perhaps soft Jazz. I look forward to playing it on the Home system in a few weeks when I return to sin city.
