The instrumental music played by the band resembles the sound of early Return To ForeverFind albums by this artist, especially due to the excellent flute parts played by Juan Carlos NeumannFind albums by this artist, which remind me of Joe FarrellFind albums by this artist’s exquisite playing. The electric piano and synthesizer played by Alfonso FeeleyFind albums by this artist and the pulsating bass played by Felipe ClarkFind albums by this artist also remind Chick CoreaFind albums by this artist and Stanley ClarkeFind albums by this artist respectively. Carlos ChungFind albums by this artist on guitar and Juan CoderchFind albums by this artist on drums compliment the quintet’s lineup, both contributing their excellent input. The music is superb, with splendid melodies and quite complex rhythm changes, with plenty of space for individual improvisations. This reissue includes two live tracks in addition to the original album. People who like early Jazz-Rock and a great sense of melody should enjoy this album immensely.
