Another fine CD by Hiroshima

"Very nice instrumentals on this CD, just what I expect and love to hear from Hiroshima. I've been a fan of Hiroshima since the 80s, and as long as they continue to produce CDs I'll keep on buying them.



Track #6, "Another wish," is my favorite. it's guaranteed to put a smile on your face! I liked "Believe," but "Caravan of love" wasn't enough. I can't figure out "Sever rivers." What can I say, it's weird!



Terry Steele is a fine vocalist, but I can't see him as being a regular member of the band. We Hiroshima fans need to start a petition to have Barbara Long (who was the lead singer on "Go" and "Another place") return to the band and sing on their next album. I miss her talent for singing!



Although this CD isn't as good as "Between Black and White," The Bridge is still worthy of my Hiroshima collection and makes for an enjoyable listening experience."

Hiroshima......The Kings of Smooth

"I've said this before....this is Hiroshima in their element. The sound, the vibe, the music....the very essence of smooth. The vocals are probably the only "weak" areas of this disc, albeit they ain't bad, but, do we really need another version of the Isley's "Caravan of Love", regardless of how "well" it's sung?June Kuramoto jams hardest on this disc and the instrumentals are reminiscent of the band in it's 80's heyday.This one's a keeper. I'd recommend it to those looking for smooth, unwinding jazz with the kind of edge that makes it perfect for late night relaxiing as well.I just can't get over "Caravan of Love"......arghhh!!"

Very good but I could do without the vocals

"I love Hiroshima's style-I have just about everything they've put out. At first, I thought this cd was too "smooth jazz" & slick for me, but after repeated listening it's starting to grow on me( even the vocal tracks!). It's not that the vocals aren't first class, but for me it's always been the instrumentals that blow me away. I prefer their older material, but their recent best of collection is great as well. If you ever get a chance to see them live you really should. They are amazing!"
