The shape of music to come

"If you wanted to look into the future from back in 1986 and see in what direction music might be heading, all you had to do was to pick up "Transit." Stein and Walder were WAY ahead of the curve. How do I know? There was a young Bruce Hornsby singing on the LP, and Dawn Atkinson contributed vocals and electronic percussion. Joining Bruce and Dawn were Mark Isham and Mike Manring. When you have that kind of support on an album that tells me a great deal. But don't take my word for it - I've only been playing and enjoying music for some three and a half decades. Take a chance. Give 'Foreign Correspondence' an unbiased listen, remembering you're listening to a sound that first came out on LP in 1986. Then enjoy every tasty cut."

"I owned this on cassette tape (remember those?), and have since misplaced it. Hoping to find it on CD I came to Amazon.com only to find that it cannot be purchased for less than $60.00 (for a CD). This country is going downhill quickly!!!

Give people a break, spread the joy of this wonderful music, and offer it at a price that a normal human being might be able to afford!
