Album Notes & Community Reviews
Stepping out from his role as the drummer for Return to Forever, Lenny White's solo debut is a massive, heavily conceptual voyage through cosmic jazz fusion. The album intricately balances blistering, odd-metered jazz-rock chops with dense layers of analog synthesizers, crafting a deeply funky and futuristic science-fiction atmosphere.
