Thanks Pete! I would LOVE to get Photon Wing… some day. But first I have to complete my Bobby Darin collection. ;D

Excellent review of Nez and his works. I have found that Nez constantly pushes away boundaries and stares, focused, at the horizon, at what [b]CAN be[/b] if an artist can bring it forth. Kudos to Nez for using his control to continually create and explore the potential of the human spirit.

Just a comment to Jeanie: Order Photon Wing today! That’s actually the one that I think is the best… ;-)

Unique perspective is RIGHT, and he’s my kindah guy, too… except the “absolute control” issue might freak me out a bit. ; D

Excellent review, Michael. You so aptly used the TWO words that best describe Michael Nesmith; “true artist” and “absolute control”.

I own three of the four cds you mentioned (all except Photon Wing) and they are just superb! I believe “Tropical Campfires” is about the best one he ever put out. Also, his comedy skits in “Elephant Parts” are fabulous. I loved it when he lost his shoe dancing and can still see him in my mind’s eye trying to retrieve it. lol Also, that 50s diner scene with “Magic” makes me wish I had grown up in the 50s… by far the BEST era to grow up in. Nesmith’s work sure has a magical touch to it. I love the enchanting atmosphere of some of his visuals and the silly, good natured humor. This sounds like a truly fabulous CD/DVD set!
