Matthews) credits my comment: Taking Off was the second album I brought and I'm still loving it (and I still don't really know why, but who cares?). There is a certain feeling of unity to this album. The songs are differnt, but the tone and feeling is the same. I usually listen to the whole album, instead of just a few songs. Is it just my CD or is the backcover supposed to be upside down? My favorite songs: all of them, really. The most remarkable songs are Butterfat (a good song to get addicted), Duck Ankles (how can you make those noises with a saxophone anyway?) and Black Light (wonderful: sax and violins). Super! Buy it! Enough said! BACK
