This was my first exposure to Thinking Plague. I found it hard to comprehend musically: It sounded a bit like Yes - however, a Yes where the guitar and vocals were in the same key, but somebody had accidentally hit the "transpose" button on the keyboard, the bassist was reading from a baritone sax part, and the sax player was reading from a flute part. But there was something there, something halfway audible yet just out of my grasp. I needed to pursue it to find out what that was, and pursue it I did - to reviewing A History of Madness, to (rather contentiously) interviewing Mike online, to having dinner with him during a visit to Colorado, to seeing various versions of the band a number of times, and to finally becoming long-distance friends with him.
And, crazily-enough, Gavin's drums were overdubbed at the very end - I guess he's really good at playing to a click.
