RockPaperScissors

RockPaperScissors is a 2006 album by Canadian electronic musician Michael Brook.

"When not recording in his Lavanderia studio located in the Hollywood Hills, Michael and his co-producer, multi-instrumentalist and arranger Rich Evans (of Peter Gabriel's band) traveled to Sofia, Bulgaria on behalf of this ambitious project, where they recorded local orchestral and choral ensembles. Into this mix, Brook introduced several vocalist/songwriters such as his former 4AD label mate Lisa Germano, Shira Myrow and Paul Buchanan from the Blue Nile". 

Reception
YouTube music critic Darren Lock gave a generally positive review of the album, giving it a score of 3.5/5, however he noted that the album might've been too long with the addition of the two "Pasadena" tracks.
