I saw him last year in a stone church in Philadelphia on a stormy
windy night with the shadows of wind-blown branches in the stained
glass windows. It was rather amazing.
And yes, the flutes are genuine Home Depot pvc pipe. ( ! )
So, I recommend Bestiary for maximum glurpiness, Electric Ladder for
maximum "musicality" (whatever that means) and Seven Veils for
maximum atmosphere (and for a great band as well). Bear in mind that
he has 20 or so CDs available and I don't have them all, so I could
be missing some gems. I think I'll go order a copy of Calling Down
the Sky now.
