    Good fun fusion with amazing players, including electric guitar from gone-before-his-time Tommy Bolin. Wonderful Moog work from Jan Hammer. "Stratus" is a stand out track. Before fusion got too pretentious.

    This Canadian issue sounds quite good, with the lows and highs rich and nicely balanced.
