My guess is that Mr. Porcini deliberately set out to make an album that
couldn't be pigeon-holed into any one genre. If that *was* his goal,
I think he succeeded admirably. While the constant shifting of styles
may be frustrating to some, I personally find it quite entertaining.
I also think it makes for better headphone listening than the first
album. Is it a better album? I haven't decided yet.
