Can't believe this album is in so few collections here on bandcamp. One of the greatest fusion albums i've heard! (also the other albums of Yo Miles!) bartel hulst

I really appreciate that with such a large group of musicians the overall sound and experience of listening is really spacious, never cluttered. The lovely recording helps that a lot, and of course the compositional aspects that make it breathe are superb- it gets more and more fun as I listen again and again. Jasper Skydecker
