Not his best Work

"I have Marc Antoine's entire music catalog. I have yet to like this album as much as the others. I understand what he is trying to do musically and as an artist but the album seems to lack a natural flow. The album "Universal Language" seems to achieve what he wanted to do with this album. Still not a bad album just not one of his better ones"
A Winner!!

"This work is clearly his best to date. Marc Antoine has come up with an interesting, complex sound that exceeds his other works. He still maintains his own artistry while adding a vibrant mix of other talented artists to his "jazz soup". Fascinating hints of Euro jazz sprinkled throughout."
Love it!

"Marc Antoine has always taken inspiration from around the world to create a unique style and sound. With this CD, he revisits the funkiness of some of his earlier work. As one who has listened to him for a number of years, I have a true appreciation for each and every one of the songs on this CD. It is an excellent statement of how he has evolved as an artist and come full circle. Edgy, yet still smooth. Brilliant!"
