freejazzy Everything is down to earth. I mean it's really earthy. Very low center of gravity. Straight and funky. Got it? Favorite track: Junk Trunk.

Peter Jones OK, so Junk Trunk opens and gets you fully into funk world. Then Inverse Funk comes along and... yeah! Cool stuff!

Communication Crisis, though, sounds like it was an attempt to get North By North West started that went somewhere else. Interesting but doesn't really hit the mark. NBNW makes up for it and more, of course!

Days Of Wonder pours jazz liquidly over a deep funk base. Beautiful. The bass at the end of Purple Reign also warrants a special mention.

Not enough space to say ... Favorite track: Inverse Funk.

Gerald What a fantastic jazz-funk album! I love the song writing and the musicality of everybody involved. This album is on heavy rotation on my stereo. Thanks! Favorite track: Aurora.

Bernard Gray This album was so worth the wait - amazing work guys, amazing musicianship and writing aside, these tracks just groove. HARD! :P Favorite track: Strength In Symmetry.
