Oh sure, I agree about Drifting. But you know, it is a cool tune if you can look past the flashy percussive stuff. That having been said, it's probably my least favorite of his tunes. In the 5-6 years I've been a fan, I've probably listened to it as many times. The good thing about it is that he has gotten an amazing amount of exposure because of that video. He has been selling out shows all over (especially in Europe), and I think a lot of people probably come out to see him just because of his youtube exposure. Once they're in the door, he gets a chance to show what he can really do. I think that's great personally, because I know how tough is it for these guys to make a living. For some more melodic stuff by Andy, check out tunes like She, Dependant Arising, Nakagawa-san, Rylynn, For My Father, Shanghai etcetcetc. His baritone and harp guitar compositions are pretty great as well IMO. In this genre, I think we're really lucky to have guys like Andy, Jon Gomm, Antoine Dufour etc pushing boundaries first explored by guys like Michael Hedges and Don Ross (my 2 personal favorites). When it comes to Tommy E, I respect his talent for sure - seems like the guy can play just about anything. But for some reason his music leaves me cold.
