Synopsis

Amazon.com
Ironically, there's not as much rocket science here in terms of hi-tech gear and virtuosic writing as there was on early 1990s Tribal Tech albums. But there's no shortage of the stratospheric activity we've come to expect from this most enduring and creative of fusion bands. That's particularly obvious in the stunning title track, which opens with a delightfully chaotic barrage of metallic, ring-modulated guitar from Scott Henderson, before being soundly underpinned by a solid funk groove from Gary Willis and Kirk Covington and building to a gloriously savage, demonic climax. (Lovers of Henderson's great blues album, Dog Party, will note that he doesn't fail to spotlight one of his mutts here.) Like TT's previous album, Thick, this one's based on studio jams, and if that results in a mite less color than in their composed works, the set shows we don't need the starship Enterprise to take us well out of this world. --Mark Gilbert

Fusion Explosion
L. Tucker | NY | 08/10/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Not sure why this is currently out of print, but this is one fine outing from the Tribal Tech boys.



Scott Henderson & Gary Willis have done it again (along with messers Kinsey & Covington). This music is adventurous and inspiring, not to mention impeccably played. Boy can these guys tear it up.



It's a shame that this 2000 release appears to be their last. Maybe someday they'll get back together and do it again. If you ever get a chance, go see them live. You'll not be disappointed. :)

"This is the best in this series, good techno sounds and heavy Jeff Beck inspired guitar work. Scott Henderson does everything well, he has his own style but pays a respectful omage' to Mr. Beck in many songs. His treatment of style can only be compared to Hendrixs' interpetation of dylans' All Along the Watchtower. Insted of hanging back the other band members carve out coice cuts for themselves showing their true professionalism. Jazz and rock fuse in this work leaving the listener with NO bad tracks to listen to."
