This entire album has a real southwest, western feel to it. The brass truly compliments the often haunting guitar melodies. This song in particular, not only being the first track, ended up being, in my opinion, the best.

From the first harmonic notes on through the entire piece i was held captive. I kept asking myself, "Have I heard this before?". It was not till after listening to the track did I read the description, and my observations were confirmed. Well done guys!

The intro with the simple acoustic guitar and haunting background tone lead me right into the fitting lyrics. The change in tempo around the midpoint of the song was very refreshing.

True to its name, Saga led me on a journey. The interplay of the instruments, the dynamics, the tempo all med me through a range of emotion as I took part. I also enjoyed Firefly, which was reminiscent of Flight of the Bumblebee, but suited for the dragonflies I witness each summer.

The whole story which is played out kept me at attention. The conclusion of the segment left me wanting for more.

I feel it is unfair to have to select a particular track to list a favorite, as each track has its own merit. I found "BIG" to have the most appeal due to what I perceived to be a cleanness of the different instruments presented. The changes were easily followed and melody was not lost. As i listened to each tracks, I could see the influences of other musicians, but could appreciate how this group held on to their own individuality. Looking for ward to more from Stephen, Victor, and Dave

Though my focus for most music is the instrumentation, I found the lyrics in this piece to draw me in, recollecting memories and experiences of my past.
