"The first time I heard track two on this CD, I decided it wasn't worth anyone else ever playing the piano. That is not to say that it is the only decent track on the album - far from it; the world has never heard funkier or more explosive piano playing. This is not for those who like their jazz gentle and inoffensive. Rather, it is a mind blowing example of O.P. at his dynamite best, supported by some of the most dangerous bass playing and drumming (catch the opening twenty seconds of 'Windmills of your mind', for example) that has ever been put to disc in the studio. A CD to uplift the soul and clear the head like a violent sneeze, but don't listen while you're driving as muscle spasms may ensue."
