1. Abulum - Glen Phillips

First up is Abulum by Glen Phillips. It has the distinction of containing the first song that I ever downloaded as an mp3 and yes it was a legal download. Train Wreck. I haven't really listened to this cd in a couple of years, I've played the odd track and listened to live versions of the songs.

I really do like glen phillips though I can hear how much his music has changed since this first solo album but I still really like that slight darkness and overall mood of the songs.

I don't know why I don't listen to it more often.

Favourite track - Train Wreck
most depressing track - Darkest Hour.
most skippable song - Maya. sometimes I love it, sometimes I skip right past it.

Release Date - Amazon lists it as April 10, 2001. That was the Brick Red version in a jewel case with the song "Sleep of the Blessed" added. Not sure of the initial release date, but I know I ordered in late 2000 and had it in my possession in January 2001 at the latest.
