"Jeff Golub and his crew have got a relaxed and polished style- in the light jazz vein of say Bob James or the "Crusaders" They move from funky tunes, thru soulful ballads and on to rousing infectious uptempo grooves. This is really enjoyable instrumental work, familar but never hackneyed. The musicianship is exemplary, tight and inspired throughout. I'd put this disc in my top ten of the past three years- highly reccomended."

A great fusion/crossover album.

"Moody, atmospheric,versatile and utterly compelling this is one fusion record that will convince even the jazz purists that there's still hope left in the area;the songs are inspired,yet subtle and flowing-great balance between interplay and the virtuosity of the players allowing for an incredible result.Not for the musically challenged..."
