I don't cry at the drop of a hat, so I was amazed that this album literally made me cry for half an hour when I first listened to it. Maybe it is the synthesis of the wonder of science and the wonder of music, both of which I've been immersed in all my life, which caused me to be so deeply moved. It's a truly breathtaking blend of imagination and wonder. I listen to it often. Thanks for this. It's a treasure.
