5.0 out of 5 stars Thick chewy bass tones, April 15, 2004

By A Customer

This is by far my favorite Michael Manring album. These songs hit hard, orbit distant planets, travel through frigid environments...every one takes me to a different place. I have played this CD so much that my stereo doesn't even need the disk anymore, it has it memorized! *laugh*
If you don't have this disk you are -really- missing out on something very special.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!, March 19, 2004

By	"dyldo" (St.Charles, MO USA) - See all my reviews

THis album is truly amazing! If you thought the extremes of bass could not be pushed much further than you must hear this album. What makes this release so diffrent from many bass virtuousos is that manring is all about the melody. Manring writes some truly beautiful progressions and no songs include overdubs.This cd also includes guests such as Steve Morse(dixie dregs,deep purple,kansas) and Tim Alexander(primus).

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant - deserted island must have disc, July 7, 2007

By	Andrea S. B. Drapeau - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently popped this into my cd player after not listening to it for a few years - this disc is a MUST HAVE. Truely brilliant - the ending half of You Offer Only Parabolas still gives me goose bumps.

Thanks Mike!
