5 out of 5 stars Amazing! Thoughtfully blended and well produced!.......2006-02-18

When I first put this CD on I thought, Oh great, another crying-into-the-microphone band. BUT IT ISN'T!

Layers of sound bites, news clips, and other spoken-word treasures have been used in place of lyrics to convey the message. And just what IS the message? One reviewer claims it is 9/11. Too obvious (I mean, the CD opens up with a sound bite from the news on that day.) You need to add all of the clips together to understand the overall meaning behind 'The impossible leap...', and you can figure out just what that is on your own. Much like a Jackson Pollock painting -- it's all there for you to see -- you take away from it what YOU feel, not what someone else thinks/says/claims.

Each song would be so difficult to nail down; all I can say is there are many many genres here, so I'll just quote the band: "Highly influenced by the likes of Fugazi to Tortoise, Afrika Bambata to DJ Shadow, Don Caballero to Godspeed You Black Emperor, [we challenge] the audience with epic compositions that abandon conventional song structure." Hmmm, well put.

Buy this CD, you will not be disappointed!

5 out of 5 stars Challenges the phoney 9-11 story.......2006-01-31

The voice-overs tell the story of the agenda. How could 9-11 have been used as an intentional spring-board long-planned to move the agenda forward?

5 out of 5 stars Impossible Leap in 34 Simple Steps.......2005-01-12

This is an incredible album. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it. The songs are written so well that they all could inspire someone to make a short film based solely off the music. With the licensing of "Impossible Leap in 34 Simple Steps" in Japan and this past summers touring there, fans are sure to come. This album will be remembered for quite some time. Congratulations.
