It's Yanni-delic!

"So, yeah, everyone agrees that the cheap domestic version of The Fawn is a classic- it's as good as their first one; it's even better than Prekop's solo album- still, unless you're one of those obsessive geeks whose sense of personal fulfillment depends on the completeness of his record collection, there's no reason to shell out the extra twenty bucks for the import version...When I first checked out this page and read about the five bonus tracks, I was pretty excited, too- fortunately, I managed to find them all on Napster and listen to them before blindly sacrificing next week's weed fund. As it turns out, most of the "bonus" tracks are lame, gimmicky instrumentals- in fact, with one exception ("The Parlor"), they're even duller than the "tone poem" wank-haiku's at the end of the Two Gentlemen e.p. Buy a forty sack instead. (You can afford to buy both? Go for it! Just be careful- the trust fund won't last forever...)"
