    Is this Jazz Metal fusion? I love it, just hoping for a Vinyl release.

      Intense with a wide breadth of atmosphere, combined with unmatched musicianship. A must have for neo-avant jazz fans with a strong touch of ambient throughout.

      Out of my 2tb of digital music, 300 CDs, and 200 vinyl, this ranks in my top 30.

        Pure masterpiece. Colorful and killer. Last recording material of Tony Williams before he died just before the released of this record.
        Fantastic combination of sounds and technics from Buckethead, Tony Williams, Bill Laswell and Pharoah Sanders among others.
