MCIS came out when I was a freshman in high school.   I was an avid classical musician – that’s all I ever listened to or played.  The girl who sat next to me in our youth symphony came in one rehearsal and was poring over the liner notes at a break.  I had a hopeless crush on this girl.   I asked her what she was doing and I will never forget the look on her face as she looked up and answered “personal enrichment”.   I went and bought the album the next time I had any money and it blew my mind.    MCIS transports me instantly to that year – all of the thoughts, emotions, drama that suddenly engulfed my life in such an exhilarating way.  So much has changed since then but I come back to it all the time.
