I hate insomnia.............

I'll make this quick and to the point:Can anyone recommend a good comprehensive introduction to functions of several complex variables that's a) fairly up to date, b) isn't a geometry or an algebra book only,but takes multiple viewpoints? I don't mind texts that require a lot of background as long as they present it intelligibly.

Just as good would be links to lecture courses by experts on the subjects that are accessible and do the job.

I've seen Griffith/Harris,Gruert and Gunning's 3 volume treatise.Gunning looks the best of the 3,but I was hoping for something more up to date. This is still a very active field. I haven't seen Krantz yet.
