"If you will expect this like his outings in his spice of life albums, this may not be for you. Light, slow jam fusion missing his hard edge stint with berlin and bruford. Great guitar jam by both coryell and kazumi but controlled and they didnt let it rip.
The music is good for lounging around over cocktail parties. Not much jazz rock fusion as expected after hearing his spice of life albums.get it for a sell out price only."

Creative, Tasty, Wonderful Music, not dated by the synth pat

"Kazumi is a great player, and this release shows his musicality more than his fusion recordings do. These songs, unlike those of his fusion releases, are full of compositional depth and beauty. The improvizations are highly creative as well as being tasty. His guitar work here, is much more substantial, than on the Spice Of Life albums. The whole band is top notch! This music can be enjoyed repeatedly, since it is not dated by the 80's synth patches and repetitive funk licks."
