Album Notes & Community Reviews
The veteran American fusion ensemble continued their immensely successful commercial run with this slickly produced, radio-friendly studio effort. The album heavily integrates digital synthesizers and drum machines into their upbeat, Latin-inflected instrumental framework, typifying the crossover sound of mid-80s smooth jazz.
