REVIEW: A Pleasant Surprise

"Hunto by David Macejka came to me via my weekly "alerts" -- so I must have downloaded music by him before -- but on listening to the songs in this album I was so taken by them, one after the next, I was moved to purchase the whole collection -- something I rarely do these days. Almost every song is absolutely unique and excititing -- I never thought I would own a whole CD of drum solos without thinking them monotonous -- these surely aren't."
