"I've been a fan of Greg Howe for a number of years, own all of his solo albums, and only recently became familiar with this project after discovering some video clips on youtube. These guys totally blow me away! I'd never heard of Tetsuo Sakurai (bass) or Akira Onozuka (keys). (Evidently the former has been playing fusion in Japan for 20 years, and, judging by his chops, deserves to be in every fusion fan's vocabulary). Dennis Chambers,... duh! 'Nuf said.



I won't babble on about every single song. Suffice it to say that if you liked Greg's last disc, "Extraction", with Victor Wooten and Dennis Chambers, then you'll love this. Yes, the cost is a bit prohibitive, but if you can afford it, it's worth it.



By the way, this is also available on DVD with four additional songs, in addition to some "behind the scenes" stuff. -Ridiculously expensive. Do I own it? Yes! Do I regret spending $50 for it? Not at all. Check out the Laser's Edge website for competitive prices."
