"Wow! RPO is truly a fab group of musicians! There world-fusion sounds comes from all around the world, amazingly, without sounding contrived or borrowed. They seem to comfortably play off each other in 50 different muscial languages creating something that is all their own. Best of all, they keep their sense of humor - several songs are lyrically quite geek silly funny. Did i mention you can dance to this? The sounds operate on many levels! My only complaint with this album would be that it is slightly disconnected - more of a collection of great songs. It's great that they don't take themselves to seriously - they seem unpretentious and honest musicians who really love to jam - this is great, but i wouldn't complain if they took themselves a bit more seriously - how about a West coast tour?!"

Awsome. You can't sit still.

"I recently saw this group in concert at the Milwakee Summerfest. It was the only band there that we heard from a distance that literally pulled us to their venue. Their music is so compelling, you just can't sit still. People were dancing all over the place, even in the searing heat"
