"First, let me note I like most of the work from the David Becker Tribune and admittedly I liked this CD much more back in the early '90s. But some things don't stand the test of time: what sounded fresh and interesting then now sounds too much like the rest of the triple Z jazz genre that clogs the play lists of commercial jazz stations. Put another way, this music plays well in the background but it doesn't hold up to careful listening. Mr. Becker is a heck of a guitar player, but the synthesizers and keyboards dilute instead of enhancing the music here. It all sounds pretty much the same. I would recommend both "Siberian Express" and "Third Time Around" as better testimonies to Mr. Becker's work from the early '90s."
