Yes, Herr Klinger, it’s a burner. Though Little Big is not inspired by the famous fantasy novel Brian W. told us about, this album is quite a fantastic affair, full of contrasts and real surprises. Mr. Whistler (on the now legendary blog of The Manafonistas), and Will Layman on Popmatters, revealed some of its mysteries. Not being a rip-off from any jazz-rock-fusion of the golden era in any way, it contains the same adventurous spirit of some of the classics from that era. And, yes, the production values – Will Layman writes: „Another outstanding quality of the recording is its excellence as a recording and as a production. Not only are the sounds themselves sumptuous – the richness rather than any tinniness or squawking from the synthesizer, the delicious, sedimental way that Parks layers piano and electric piano, the three-dimensional feeling of the drum parts with kick and snare and cymbals all seeming to come at your ears from the warm center of the tracks – but the recording is produced to avoid the cliches of a guitar/keys-trio record.“ And, to close this with some food for thought: the best way of being nostalgic is inventiveness.
