happy burfday cheechee! i listened to (and enjoyed) Metamorphosis a few weeks ago and especially appreciated the "conversations between normal human people". aside from the perfect comedic timing, i love the whole concept of "presenting the natural pitches of speech in a musical way". this was the conceit of charles spearin's album "the happiness project" too and after i saw some of that performed live many years ago i was really captivated by that idea.
