This is my fifth Spyro Gyra SACD and again there`s high standard pop-jazz on twelve tracks, as on the other four discs before. Each of the discs itself has got good pop-jazz, but as a whole there´s too less alternation in the sound, so it gets a bit boring listening to Spyro Gyra. They should think about a little change of their sound, or else it may not be worth the price to buy another Spyro disc with the same music. They are trying some new instruments here, e.g. violin or steel pans giving somewhat a Caribbean touch on one or two tracks, but as a whole it is Spyro sound from the first note. Perfect, but very well known pop-jazz. I recommend this disc only to people who do not own lots of Spyro discs already.
The sound is very good, rich of colour, good soundstage and imaging, air for the instruments to breath, dynamic, brilliant.

Agree that SG needs to change up the sound. How much perfection can we all stand?? Really, its a great group with near flawless production but I'd like to hear them take some more chances next time. I like what they've done so far on this album with the congas etc, and I want more. As far as they go, this is a start for something new.

Review by SPANINC March 21, 2010
Performance:   Sonics:  
Spyro Gyra is considered one of the top fusion bands around and most of their material is good. Granted they have many albums that are fantastic and some that are under par. This particular album has a lot of tunes with reggae rythem that are unfortunately boring and repetitive. There are no catchy tunes or melodies that you can carry around in your head. SG is a great band and I will continue to buy their musice I regret to have not listened to this particular album before I purchased in SACD format.
