So I watched this and I cam across a few interesting points.

1.  I had commented how the strings in Invocation sound sampled (ala played 
with a keyboard and not am actual string section).  In the video not only do 
they show Jaz with the string section BUT I could tell right away that the 
mixing was better in the video.  So what probably happened is that the mp3 
compression squashed all of the subtle timbre of the strings.  Which leads 
me to believe that the record will sound better in final release.

2.  It was interesting to hear that went for minimalism in the recording 
process (if that is truly the case).  And maybe that is what makes this 
release stand out from the past several recordings.  It is obvious to me 
that that everything from Etxtremities onward is HEAVY in overbubs.  
Sometimes good sometimes not.  Democracy (in its original mix) is probably 
the most obvious.

3.  Jaz should avoid white makeup with black.  It accents the...larger sides 
of his characteristics.  I am sure it looks better on film I am sure.
