The first thing that hits you when you listen to this record is the extensive use of samples and drum rhythms one would expect in a dance record. This album is clearly a cross over between Jazz and Dance. Which is fine since it was done really well.
The music can be a bit too much in your face at times, and I have been in the situation before were I decided to put it on but regretted it as soon as the first track began. Other times I love this record and tend to turn up the volume so far that I sure my neighbours aren’t happy that I’m living next to them.
I’ve gotten both albums which were release by Gerard Presencer on SACD and I must admit I prefer this one. sa-cd.net
