5 out of 5 stars Spectacular First Effort.......2001-12-14

It's nice to see that intelligent lyrics and musical sensibility can still intermingle. Novog, Pongetti, Psonak, Coleman, Stewart and Horn are spectacular in and of themselves. Rod Sherwood's production is flawless. Fifteen songs that all tell a unique story. Each are different, yet they coexist with ease. Matthew Hart's ability to maintain an ensemble to support his solo material has enabled him to evolve from Those Who Dig into a distinctive folk sound that stretches beyond musical boundaries. One can only guess with hopeful anticipation as to where he might go next.

5 out of 5 stars Really Outstanding!!.......2001-12-08

A friend turned me on to Comet 2 months ago, and I have to say, I haven't stopped listening to it since. It's one of those rare discs that hooks you from the get-go, but ultimately bears more fruit later on. Lyrically, the songs strike a great balance between intelligent and playful; musically, the songs are melodic and fall somewhere in the folk/rock/bluegrass category. The production varies from lush(The Gap is Wide) to simple and understated(Mi Cielo)....but who cares about these details...the music Matthew Hart is doing moves me! Get this cd!!! Get several for your friends!!!
