Desert Scores is a brilliant CD. I haven't given
Gigantic Days near as many listens, but that doesn't
mean it is lacking in any way. I think I prefer Desert

Scores just because it is alot more upbeat. Everything
I have bought by Ian O'Brien is top notch!!!

When Claude Young was out in LA, he said that he and
Ian were considering doing a label together. He said
it would be more musical...kind of like classic Black
Dog. That sounds awesome!!
