i'm about 4 listens into vol I, and will soon proceed into II-IV. previous to this, i did multiple multiples of Pacific High/Inner Mystic sets. though the Caledonia Soul Orch is fucking wonderful and amazing in itltsn vol I, and also though his vol I performance is energetic and fully engaged and great in it, i don't love the show nearly in the way that i love inner mystic. at first i hoped that the problem was that my headphones were inadequately producing the depth of the pieces. so after switching to ok speakers, and then back to better phones, i just don't like the arrangements all that much. they're wonderfully done, but they're too much for me. and the string section, i just don't want that in this r&b. and i really want to, i'm listening to caravan now, but i don't need or want that. (i really love his respectful ID of his band, which is awesome and deserved).
