When I was deeply into 90s lo-fi rock music, I also loved that album. Then he made like 15 more and kicked heroin (I forget in which order) and it got sort of old. But I think the guy is a good musician and I even like The Empryean quite a bit when I'm in the right mood. More to the point, I still agree that his first solo album is really good.
