 | | Some songs that had not previously seen the light of day in any form are the uptempo, slightly loungy "If You Only Knew," the slow, Indian tinged "Believe You", which could have easily fit on the Monkees' Head soundtrack, and the pretty, early Monkees-ish "Sunshine Today". |
 | | The packaging of Preparing For The Millennium is stellar as well, with cool photos, vintage press clippings, and the usual excellent liner notes and song annotations by the venerable Dawn Eden, which include insights from various members of The Ballroom and The Millennium. |
 | | Songs like "Another Time", "Song To The Magic Frog (Will You Ever Know)", "The Keeper Of The Games, "Musty Dusty", and "Would You Like To Go" are all manifestations of Boettcher's wide eyed wonderment, the harpsichord and string laden arrangments and the elegant melodies offering the perfect complement to Boettcher's soaring vocals. |
