Thanks for the link SM. I'm a fan but this doesn't sound different enough to grab me. I'll buy it online for sure though.
I was hoping for some really new sounds from them. Has Andrew done a review of it yet?

Does anyone know if this CD is available in stores like Best Buy, etc? Or is just available online? I think the album is great....but one e-bay price had it for $27.98 plus S7H! A bit rich for my wallet....

The stores that Andrew has listed at the top of his site has it at around $16.00 plus S&H. I ordering next week when I get paid. But, not all have it, about half and I forget which half, so I will ahve to look thru them again.

Just got it myself. I have to agree.....Grossi did a *great* job at keeping Hugo's sometimes out of control falsetto in complete control.
Definitely some of his best work...

Though I like Hugo quite a bit (I've got 3 of his albums and the Open Skyz album), this sounds pretty bland to me. Also, pretty dated. The guy's got a killer set of pipes and he still sounds good, just nothing that really catches my ear as a standout track. I'll probably get it, but it'll have to grow on me because at first listen, it seems pretty unexciting.

My Ramos-Hugo cd just came in the mail today. I've given it a few spins and have honed in on "Bring Back this Love" and " Tomorrow" as my favorite tracks. I don't think the previews give the material justice. The music is good based on just a few spins. Hugo and Josh both sound great on the tracks. The mix leaves a bit to be desired though. The drums are piercing and a lot of the mix come across muddy. A remix would make this cd 2x better. I was quite surprised to see our own Eric Ragno as having music writing credit on several tracks. Cheers Eric on a job well done. You will hear hints of "Don't Stop Believing" and "Living for You" if you're paying attention. Enjoy!

"in the night..."!
A treat of an album and Hugo sounds on great form. Better than Revelation for my money (although obviously not for the vast majorities)!

By goodness you're paying attention.

I agree, the CD is really good.

Mac,
When can we expect a review of the disk? And do you know when the disk will be available for mail order?
Thanks!
Aaron
