Everybody burns out or gets into ruts sometime. It could be that Vic has peaked and won't outdo himself for a while. Many peak, crash and never climb up again.

Oh Boy! Victor's comin to the Depot in Salt Lake Feb.28 and I've got tickets! Burned out or not, it will still be an enjoyable evening. Untill I can do what Victor does, as well as he does, he will continue to hold MY interest.

I personally like Soul Circus a lot. There's more focus on songs and lyrics and both Vics playing and the production has really improved when compared to earlier albums. As an added bonus it contains 'Bass Tribute', a musical tribute to the great bassplayers of the world who influenced him, with some very impressive imitations, not all by Victor BTW, of the sound and playing style of such diverse players as Stanley, Rocco, Jaco and James (and several others).

I also have the Flecktones' 'Live At The Quick' DVD and that's very good too, with the only 'flash' moment being a jawdropping solo bass version of 'Amazing Grace'...
