Query: a pleasant surprise...

Duncan's most recent cd is a nice blend of his previous, airy mood music, and ambient melodies. But here also is an introduction to more of a pop sound, and procession of a fun beat. Duncan remains a good storyteller, and gets thru the songs in his typical fashion.Hi lites here include the reflective and somewhat sarcastic "Genius." There's a new bit of attitude to his music brought in with track 3, "Start Again." Track 5 includes some of his best vocals, ranging from deep bass to incredible falsetto. On A High, track 6, would have to be the most radio friendly tune on the cd, and is quite fun. Another "story" is told in "Magazines," and this song is superbly drawn out, and may be the best on the album. Track 9, you begin to sense a bit of political satire with "Good Morning."The other tracks are nothing special, but hold up alright to the rest of the cd. A very nice surprise, and glad I gave it a chance!
