Jean Luc Ponty is one of the most versatile, prolific and innovative musicians of the jazz-rock genre, either as a soloist or as an active member like the Mahavishnu Orchestra or with Frank Zappa.
By the time this album was released Ponty already had seven solo albums, two with the band led by John McLaughlin and one album with Frank Zappa, in addition to many other collaborations with musicians such as Stanley Clarke, Elton John, Al Dimeola, or George Duke.
In this album Ponty gives much more free rein to his band and his instrumental exposition, leaving in part his violin solos, which nevertheless continues to appear alongside the characteristic arpeggios.
The synthesizers, electric piano, vocoder and percussions led by Paulinho Da Costa are the common denominator of one of the best jazz rock records of the eighties.
