    filter or tool? (tool is getting stinkfingered in here!)

    I've been listening to Lateralus CONSTANTLY for a few months, and as a musician, I think that is one of the best albums I've ever heard. If you listen to it enough, you really pick up on the complexity of the music. You still can't count any of the rhythyms tho...

    Any trumpet players here?

    That's weird you mentioned Allen Vizutti, he graduated from a small high school in the town where I grew up (Missoula, MT) He played Arban's version of the Carnival of Venice with the Montana Symphony Orchestra when he was in 8th grade. I've met him, he's a prick.
