Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the final studio effort to feature foundational keyboardist Mike Ratledge as the primary creative force, the ensemble moves further into minimalist, atmospheric jazz-rock. Bassist Roy Babbington's official induction into the lineup provides a muscular, funk-tinged foundation that complements the record's heavily synthesized textures.
