Hmm to my ears, it sounds like a definate progression. The beats are more 
complex and interesting, the production levels have gone up, that and 
it sounds like the melodies work better together. That being said, 
I think both discs are quite excellent. D'Archangelo isn't a he,
its a set of brothers. What other pseudonyms have these guys recorded
under that I need to check out. As for the CD's overal length, it
doesn't seem to bother me as the tracks all work together and it 
feels like a complete work. 

Lets just hope they don't wait another 3 years to put out a CD
