5.0 out of 5 stars This album is amazing, February 23, 2003

I have had this album for many years now. I am only a junior in college, however I'm in music school - I have just recently dug deeper into this album after learning more here. The stuff Michael and Randy play are just heart-stopping. Rediculous. Michael's lines are so out and crazy, yet beautiful. They keep you listening on the edge of your seat. Randy's playing on this album is quite the opposite - its warm and mellow. He pours his heart out through his horn. The mixture of these two with the outstanding arrangments of great song ideas are indispensable. This album is a staple in a musician's listening and learning experience. All other audiences will also be in shock as they listen to what Michael and Randy say musically.

There are times in which the intuition, the joyous rapture and the inspiration seemed to melt in the right proportions to make an unforgettable record. In the jazz story there are many examples.
But in the particular case in what it concerns the Brecker Brothers made to my mind their best achievement, without any shadow of doubt. Fascinating, exciting and captivating in every track. There is not any hole all along this work.

Simply extraordinary and consider this title among the cream of the cream albums during that year.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Breckers don't get any better, February 8, 2002

Probably the most consistently solid Brecker Brothers recording since the earliest, and with the added benefit of the many years of maturing that has made these two guys into the best at what they do. Great writing throughout without the throwaway numbers on the previous GRP release. Worth the price alone for Slang, African Skies, and Nightwalker...but it's all good!
