After hearing Alden Kahn for the first time, everything is now clear.   Total clarity....  everything makes sense.   Growing up in the 60's, this work is basically tantamount to the Koran....    I have sold everything I own, moved into a refrigerator box out near the freeway, and spend my time at the airport encouraging all to listen.

LIVE IT!!!!!

The Rise and Fall is an ambitious endeavor of Homeric proportions, although at times the lucky listener will have trouble deciding whether it's mythic trappings are closer to the Homer of "the Odyssey" or "the Simpsons." It is an epic saga of unquenched desire, passionate causes, political upheaval, human pathos, inevitable hubris and enlightened curiosity told in a series of original pop vignettes in various and sundry styles. And if interesting themes, creative arrangements and pop crafsmanship are not enough to convince discriminating shoppers to sample the goods, they should also consider that, if a scientific survey were conducted (and I'm not saying that it wasn't), nine out of ten dentists would recommend this CD for their patients who chew gum.

The Rise and Fall is a tasty smorgasbord of musical flavors; a veritable cornucopia of influences for the educated palate. Its eclectic mix of mouth-watering styles is understated, yet verbose. If quirky pop music were a giant chocolate eclair, this CD would be the delicious, creamy center. A triumph!
