November, 1989: A party where only my roomate , my girlfriend and I remained conscious (at 4AM), and the television is tuned to MTV. "Living With The Dreaming Body" was screened as a new video, and instantly captivated the three of us with its loping bassline, the warm, rich tones of the lead singer's voice,with his tin whistle weaving through the melody line carried by the many other instruments producing what sounded to me like a beautiful, heavily mutated form of bluegrass. 6 hours later when the local mall opened I stopped by the music store to purchase the tape, the only time I have directly bought any CD, tape, or record based solely upon viewing just one video. I have since worn out 2 CD's and have just ordered my third. "Sound of Water" , "Fall on Me", "Pulling Touch", "Fact of Life" "Circle 'round the Sun", Wood Guitar", and "Falling" are all superlatively structured songs, but more than that, they are full of warmth and sensitivity. If you have to choose one Poi Dog Pondering CD to buy, this is the one.
