As much as I love the new cd, I think Avalanche (as well as Beautiful Midnight) are just brilliant. For me anyway, there isnt any "filler" on Avalanche, whereas Hospital Music has those 2 short pieces on there (even though they are barely a minute each, I'd still rather see a bside on there in their place)
Beautiful Midnight also holds a very special place for me, as its the first time I had ever heard of Matthew Good. At the time, our satellite provider had Much Music on there for us US listeners, and "Strange Days" was in constant rotation. I played the hell out of that cd
