    I love he gave the Elements LP love and captured both what's good and bad about that record in a few sentences. Fronted by Pat Metheny Group alumni Egan and Gottlieb. "Forward Motion" was mostly DOA commercially; it has that Metheny sheen but not the pop sensibility. It's usually found in dollar bins, often unopened. But, what's interesting are the odd electronic timbers and atmospherics.

She’s an awesome person & filmmaker. When I found out her partner was Jeff, I was like “Holy sh****t!” lol
