5.0 out of 5 stars One of the First CDs - Still a Classic Listen, June 14, 2000

This review is from: Tricycle (Audio CD)

I bought this CD in 1984 and still listen to it frequently. While it is fair to say that it was originally popularized as a test disc for high-end stereo systems (it showed off the "new" CD format to great effect), the music is what has kept it alive in my collection. Not easily categorized...kind of a light jazz meets new age meets pop, with a unique spin. Above all, the music has an optimism, a jubilant quality that's hard to describe but immediately apparent. Go for it...I bought several more Flim CDs after this one if that tells you anything. By the way, another exellent choice from this band is "Further Adventures"...but then again they're all really good.

5.0 out of 5 stars A CD that will always be remembered, August 16, 2000

My father listened to this cd at least 1000 times during my childhood in the late 80's and as I've gotten older playing jazz and appreciating it more I have to come to realize why this CD is so great. The playing, the superb recording quality, the experience of listening is one that is unique to this album. I would recommend this disc to anyone who wants a wonderful recording to play through their audiophile-quality system and to enjoy great music. This is Flim & The BB's best CD. The only thing better than this will be the DVD-Audio version when it comes out! Being that this is one of the first ever digital recordings, it was recorded on a Mitsubishi x-80 two track digital recorder at 50.4Khz if you can believe that! Happy Listening!

Where to start. This was the first Flim album I ever heard and I was absolutely smitten. This disc and possibly Big Notes are the discs to use for stereo evaluations in my book. Incredible sonic range. If a stereo has a weakness this disc WILL find it. Carry this disc to the store to try out systems and crowds gather to listen. You will be asked about the disc and artists so be prepared to tell them all about Flim and the BB's. If you only have room for one Flim disc in your library, this is the one.
