    Here we have an great jazz fusion record and sounds good. The sound is fresh and punchy. Amazing musicians and of course among them Jaco.

      What a superb record. The sound is clear and well balanced. I've discovered and heard sounds that are lost on the CD or thrown down to the background.

        The soundstage, separation and clarity on this is incredible, not to mention the insane musicianship and creativity. An absolute fusion staple...

          for me this is one of those albums that gets better with every listen . i'm a little late to the world of jazz fusion and now realise how much time has been wasted by only listening to 70's classic rock for most of my life.

            This is what I think of when I hear the word, "fusion".
