I agree with you there, as it is really the work of the members of Farflung.
Although I would also not consider it to be Nik's work, I do think that what
he does do on those albums is the best he has done for a while.

Maybe what I am really saying here is that he is best at doing that Eastern
Egyptian-style flute playing.
