Wow, thanks man. I'm glad that I'm not crazy in my assessment of this guy - he is total gem.

I still can't get over the one-two-three punch of "Manhoo", "Wireless", "Dirty Boy". Those three tunes alone are better than bands entire catalogs with 15+ albums. Am I joking? Not really. And the ironic part (at least for me as a an extreme lover of instrumental composition) is that there is nary a brilliant instrumental section to be found, which for me says volumes about how strong his semi-normal tunes are. When I'm listening to 'Manhoo" for instance, its so brilliantly created that whatever 'Tim Smith Universe' he happens to be taking you at the time, its so engrossing and powerful that you are sucked in and enjoy every nano-second he throws at you. Nothing is expected nor missed. It's like trying to describe how great Mahler is for example, words don't suffice, the music and moment does.
