"I saw these guys about two weeks ago (Fishman, Dahlgren, and Masefield, not band on the first album) in concert. They were absloutely amazing. Jamie Masefield really takes the mandolin into interesting directions. But anyways, I went out and bought Tour De Flux and i was not dissappointed. Its full of beautifully executed compositions, yet its very listener-friendly. But be prepared to hear a new kind of music; one that you've never heard before. It goes from mellow jazz, to fusion-style stuff, to more rock-like tunes. Definitely worth buying."
Has a high chill-factor

"By chill-factor, I mean the ability for music to send chills down your spine, and this album does it several times. Jamie Mansfield plays the mandolin alomst like a guitar. Fishman keeps steady, but insane beats that really keeps the music flowing. When I listen to this album I picture myself riding through Vermont's Green Mountains. Its an excellent driving album"
Mellow and electrifying

"This album is a great way to spend a night, or an afternoon, or a long drive, or whatever... There is a lot of open space in this album where you can really get into the music; but it still retains the full-fire jam characteristic that was so essential to their first recording."
