Yes yes.  It's very nice.  The only solo McEntire
material available, so if you're after that stuff,
go get it.  Very Tortoise-sounding throughout.  I
think they played the music while the movie was
going, or something like that.  Mellow. 
Reverberant.  Understated grooves aplenty.  I
would say it's for the hardcore Tortoise fans
only, really.  Otherwise, go get yourself some
Tortoise instead.

I wrote a review of this for resonance magazine at
www.resonancemag.com, but their web site is
hopelessly behind.
