If the vocals aren't something special, even if the music is good, there will be something critical missing to my ears.
Triptonus are my one and only exception. This is the only instrumental album I own...This is good on so many levels, with so many paths explored musically that it fails to fall into any style but sort of creates its own..
And also, got a nice note from the bass player in the package when the viny l came through the mail.
