Buyer Reviews :
It's good. It's damn good. Not great. But damn good.

First off, i'm not sure that they're haikus. Maybe they follow the haiku format in Japanese, but certainly not in English. Adrian runs his voice through a digital harmonizer (i think).

- 'Bude' (Japanese for 'martial way')
- 'She Shudders'
- 'I Ran'
- 'Clouds'

- 'Happy With What You Have To Be Happy With': Adrian Belew has a little fun with words (perhaps a touch too corny for my taste).

- 'Mie Gakure': Japanese for 'seen and hidden'. An absolutely gorgeous Soundscape.

- 'Eyes Wide Open': Beautiful song. It doesn't feel Crim-ish yet in its acoustic form; i look forward to the end result.

- 'Shoganai': Japanese expression that translates as 'it cannot be helped'. Lovely bit of percussive music.

- 'Potato Pie': Listed as 'Somedays Blue'. A nice stompin' blues. I always thought KC could use a little more soul, and this is definitely a step in the right direction as far as these ears are concerned.

- 'Larks' Tongues In Aspic Part 4': The guitars sounds brighter and punchier, and Trey's bass work and Pat's drums sound more lively. Overall, it doesn't sound as sterile as it does on /The ConstruKction of Light/.

- 'Einstein's Relatives': The hidden track. It reminds me of Zappa's 'Evelyn, A Modified Dog' off /One Size Fits All/.

The final notes should be quite a [boost] in the arm for any long-time Crim fan.
