Buried in the darker and more mysterious elements of this album is a subtle humor that is reflective of Zen stories - yet has a western twist. A strong rhythmic element drives all of these pieces and provides an energizing setting for the more refined sound textures that twist within it. The heart warming "If There Were Any Other Way" is a high point of Zen humor and solo work whose simplicity is both deceptive and intriguing while "Never Had A Chance" dashes one to the depths of some forbidden waste land whose humor is of a much darker dimension , letting the mind explore new territory. "Love Betrays Us Some" is a jewel of intimacy whose dimensions measure our own experiences in life and beyond. "Plenty Left Unsaid" is a saucy bit of rhythm and humor that won't let go and brings laughter and tears closer together..
