REVIEWS

one of the great fusion or jazz rock bands; outstanding
author: jsweetpea
A truelly innovative and amazing album. Now it's what I use as my benchmark for other jazz rock cds. All the tracks on this just burn with fire and the jams are right on. The music is more in line with a Manavishnu Orchestra sound. the violin and guitar interplay I think is the best I've ever heard. the electric sitar is very unique. Do not let this skip by. get this awesome cd!

Hard fusion as we used to know it
author: Brian
Think early '70s jazz-rock: Mahavishnu, Jeff Beck, Al DiMeola, Allan Holdsworth, Return to Forever, Dixie Dregs, etc. This album belongs in that sort of company, with occasional nods to Allman Bros. type psychedelia. Intense, passionate, virtuosic and inventive hard fusion. The composed sections serve as springboards for extended solos and group improvs that are full of fresh ideas and never get boring. It just cooks all the way through. Highly recommended to all fusion and jam-band enthusiasts.
