Ended Tuesday and welcomed Wednesday a walk in the rain with Arbor by Greg Davis, released on Carpark Records in 2002.

Pitchfork wrote in a contemporary review:

" The opening track alone, "Submersion Tank Part One (V.2)," justifies the record's release and makes for a gorgeous introduction into Greg's world of escapist musical montage. Here-- and nearly everywhere else on the album-- he employs deftly struck vibraphones, small flourishes of muted white noise, and the occasional interjection of computer-generated beeping as foundation for his valium-induced haze of sound. Elsewhere, the album's title track finds Greg plucking out a desperate and unadorned acoustic melody for nearly nine minutes. And in fact, the song manages to remain engaging for the majority of its duration."
