Years pass and still this gleams

There are a few things about this book that should be said right away. First, this is not really an introductory book to ABA, but works as a book that ties so many theories together. That means that it could be used in conjunction with many starter ABA books, allowing its reader to get a feel of just what ABA means. The book also works on both a Masters and a PhD level when it comes to conceptual decision/ debate (an oddity if I do say so myself), and covers so many things that cheaper guides seem to omit. This could mean bypassing some causal arena or not talking about something as simple as the C.A.R.R., but these tiny slips are really not so tiny when you think about them.

There are plenty of great things listed about this book in other reviews, so I'll skip the addition of chapter content and the addition of material and its praise. Instead, I'll add that this is one of the few books that can make or break you when it comes to trying to get licensure. In fact, this book has been listed as one of the top 10 preparation guides to use before testing, and that is some high praise considering how vaunted the test actually is. More than this, however, is the fact that this is a tool that can help you in real life scenarios and, truthfully, that is more important than being able to simply pass tests. In samples as heterogeneous as those seen in autism, you really need to know how to handle multiple scenarios to make a difference.

If you are looking for a navigation tool to help with the rocky waters of autism, this is a great book to acquire. It may have a price tag attached, but it proves invaluable in the long run and that matters more than anything.
Recommended for the student in all of us.

It has been 21 years since this album came out and it is one of the very few (besides Elvis Costello) that I have bought and re-bought after losing several times.  I always come back to this album, and it always has something relevant for me.  After two decades, Rebel Waltz still makes the hair on my neck stand up. This album fills me with hope that at least at one time, punk stood for something.

Still an amazing piece of work all these years later. It takes a while to get through, but this is a magnificent biography.

Timeless and rare. Friends always ask who it is when they hear it.

Used this for many years and it still sees to be in good condition!

even though I first read it in 1987 to help me move consciously through a transition (which has never really ended).  I find myself in such a transition moment now, and this book still speaks to my needs, it still makes sense of personal transitions as the blessings they can be for those who can sit with the experience.

Although this song has a few years on it, it is still very relevant for now and for the future.  It is good to praise no matter what you're going through.

Been using for two years and it's still looks new to me.

When I was a child, I could remember my aunts playing this record over and over. I don't know why it popped into my head all these years later. I can certainly appreciate it more now that I understand the lyrics...it's still great!

If it were released today then it would still be a classic. It has stood the test of time immensely well.  The title track is one of my favourites.

I bought this album when it came out in 1996. It inspired me then and continues to do so today.

The NICOT has been a work in progress for the past few decades. My recollection is that the first volumes came out before 1980. It is still not complete, but it is getting close. Despite a few remaining gaps, it is definitely worth owning. Like any commentary set written by multiple authors, some volumes will be better than others, but there are none that are defective and the majority are outstanding.

The NICOT is written with the layperson in mind. Unlike some commentaries it does not presuppose a knowledge of Hebrew. Moreover, it is clearly and concisely written in a way that anyone can understand. At the same time, it isn't shallow and covers each verse more than adequately. It also notes variant readings and interpretations without getting bogged down in too much detail.

Much as I would with the complementary NICNT, I would recommend this as the one set everyone should buy. (I'd recommend the classic Kiel and Delitzsch right behind this.)

I remembered the title from my youth and am impressed that it could still be ordered so many years after.

The aficionados of this album are a select crew and for some reason this hidden masterpiece has never become widely known. I heard it playing in a record store back when it had just been released and it instantly grabbed me; I had to own it. It's been with me ever since and has aged very well.

The music on this album is, in retrospect, almost startlingly ahead of its time, anticipating a variety of different sensibilities that became more fleshed-out in the 90s. A haunting, profoundly polished darkness glistens over the entire album. It achieves a high level of smoothness using "conventional" instruments and voices in combination with keyboards, rather than relying purely synth for such a tight sound as later artists would probably have done. In this sense, the music is a triumph of the outer limits of "analog" music, similar to some of the more polished work by artists working in the 80s such as Harold Blume, Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, or David Byrne.

Burroughs' spoken word pieces are generally quite good, but the general problem with spoken word in music is that it often deters listeners from repeated listening because they think "I've heard it before." Or else they concentrate on the words to the exclusion of the music. Either approach would be a shame here, because the music deserves repeated listening. Fortunately, the spoken word overlays are not annoying upon repetition, are not overly intrusive, and are blended skillfully with the music.

Material explores some hard-to-define emotions and themes.  There is a bit of the long, arduous, but beautiful voyage through the unknown here. The album retains a distinctiveness that has made it sound contemporary and not out-of-place at each listening over the past 16 years. Overall, highly recommended.

Some things are timeless (e.g. Vincebus Eruptum and OutsideInside which still kick serious ass).  Some don't age as well.  I remember being blown away by this in my high school days but the magic is gone.  FWIW.

This stands the test of time.
I've listened to it every fall for over 20 years.
No other album can take me to a different world like Sundown.
I own a lot of music, but this is the only one where I want to listen to every song, every year.
I just wish I could thank Lightfoot for what this album has meant to me.

This is by far my first review on amazon, and actually i'm not very much into writing that stuff.
I came across this album in the middle of 1994 and remember that it sounded pure magic to me. The sound was completely on its own, not in connection with anything i'd heard before. Some of the tracks were so beautiful i was on the edge of crying.
Now that 8 years have passed it still sounds wonderful and will certainly make my top-5 list of my ever-favourites. There is tons of fantastic stuff among other bands i discovered during that 8-year period, but i compare the impact that Seefeel made on me to probably only Stars of the Lid and some of their colleagues from Kranky.
I can't really recommend this album to just anyone, but if you're normally sensitive to atmospheric and colourful music this album is for you. The same applies to Quique as well.
