From David Lewis’ review of the Mode set in the All Music Guide:

“Many of the performances are downright amazing, for example Aki Takahashi’s mind-bending performance of the Sequenza IV for piano and Kelland Thomas’ smoky, soulful reading of Sequenza IXb for alto saxophone, just to mention a couple.”

As an afficianado of modern architecture, I am in love with the Big Dig House. From the standpoint of environmentally-sound construction and sustainability, the house is even cooler: It uses over 600,000 pounds of material recycled from Boston’s Big Dig. Even if that massive project seems to be having its troubles, it just might have some attractive side effects in the housing arena, if this house is any indication.
