Very accessible, your friends will love it too. I bought it over three years ago and still enjoy it. I don't know why it did not do better commercially, I am sure they are asking the same question. I only say that because I have never heard it on the radio or in films etc. "Burning Season" is smooth, polished and every song (almost) is listenable-it is one of those rare CD's that you can play with out skipping too many songs. I am sooo waiting for a new album. Hey, it has been over five years-maybe it is time. It also is very original- I don't find my self saying:" They are trying to sound like "dead can dance", or "The Cocteau Twins" or he is trying to sound like "Joy Division." Peace and Joy-Hapton
