5.0 out of 5 stars Mature, deep & brilliant, November 24, 2009

I have been a fan of Mezzoforte since 1983. My all time favorite album was "Observations", until I got "Forward Motion"!
Absolutely amazing musicianship and probably the best music surprise (comeback) from a funk-soul-fusion band in the last couple of years. This album touches, explores, inspires and fulfills.

Favorite cut is the metaphysical "Weather Ahead" and the irresitible Mezzoforte trademark "Sizzle"

If you appreciate quality music like Earth, Wind & Fire, Al Jarreau, George Benson, George Duke, Quincy Jones, etc. this album is a must have in your "Funk Music Resort"

Wow - two of the Best Jazz Musicians are back. Fredrik Karlsson with his guitar and Eythor Gunnarsson on Keyboard are given themself a brilliant interplay. The best Jazz Funk Fusion CD from last years...

I bought this strictly on a hunch, because the one review gave it 5 stars and based on the reputation of the guitar player. Very funky, yet still silky smooth jazz and an excellent piece of production. Great depth and extremely wide soundstage AND, for a change, a very extended bottom end! Top to bottom, side to side... a home run on every level.
