This review first appeared in the Sept. 3, 1993 issue of the North County Blade-Citizen (now North County Times).

Mitchel Forman is one of the better known and most respected practitioners of the electric post-fusion jazz popular in Europe. The style combines rock rhythms and jazz-flavored improvisation for a bright, uptempo sound.

The keyboardist's latest outing is a nice mixture of hard-driving songs and slower ballads. the musicianship is top-notch; the songs pleasant.
