Advantages: Unheard sound

Disadvantages: -

This is a very good album by a group of musicians who were all individually highly talented. Chick Corea together with the outrageously talented Stanley Clarke on bass produce some of the finest jazz fusion tracks all packed into one album. Jazz fusion in the sense of this album is a sort of funked up jazz- catchy and prominent bass riffs with keyboards, synth and sax.

This sounds exciting and it is, but it may not be up everyone's street- if you are not a fan of jazz then the chances of you liking this album are probably slim. The closest another band gets to this unique sound is weather report, whose music is quite similar.

Tracks of particular note on this album are Medieval Overture which has fine synth from Chick Corea and Majestic Dance which really showcases some of Stanley Clarke's talent. At £2.70 from amazon I think this would be worth a punt for most people who are into a bit of alternative music, and I hope more people will get to know and recognise this tremendous band and their music.

Summary: Worth trying out
