The Follow Up

 2004 - Escalator


The follow up release by Alva Star.


It aims to be a little more polished and is somewhat subdued compared to the previous release. But while still a nice listen, Just doesn't quite have the same flavor of the previous disc. 

But then I haven't spent as much time with it. I may change my mind in the future.

"Curtain Drops" is the highlight for me which transitions nicely into "Today"

As always your mileage may vary.
