Might be so... but given his outstanding reed technique (mine being  
closer to "lousy") I do feel more inspired to play the EWI, where you  
can imply those multi octave span glissandi much easier ;-))

But I also like the time flow of this music, no matter which  
particular instrument being played. As soon as you hear one note you  
get instantly curious on where the music will go next. It doesn't  
move too slow and it doesn't move too fast either. It's like a big  
rock rolling downhill: its speed is just what it is, given the shape  
of the rock and the surrounding terrain. I think a good  
implementation of that dimension is what I like most in all musical  
styles.

Ok. I'll paste your complete post into the file notes area on my iTunes.
