Hartman Recommends:

Audience's third album "The House on the Hill" is one of my favorite albums of all time. The acoustic guitar work sounds great mixed with the sax and flute and Williams's HEAVY bass guitar, and the vocals are different and distinctive. If you think you've heard everything before (except this), you've truly missed something. Buy this album!
