I didn't see it on the playlist.

The guest apperances are just that. They simply augment the songs and should not really be used as a measuring stick either way. For instance, Buck Dharma lends his fantastic playing to one track. So it should be emphasized that this is indeed a Simon Apple record with guests.

This is a tough call. It's really good. But while on the one hand I'd say it's definitely not progressive in the original traditional sense, it's no less prog than RPWL, Riverside, and most recent prog offerings.

In fact, I compare this favorably to Bruce Hornsby's "Harbor Lights".

There's an interesting show and dinner in Easton PA on 2/11/06, per the website.

Also, it appears they were just on the Gagliarchives program in studio.
