3.0 out of 5 stars Fusion, not fission, April 24, 2000

By	"wills37" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

I love Hiroshima's Eastern-Western fusion style. This was the first CD of Hiroshima's I'd listened to; it didn't take me very long to fall in love with the group. I give this 3 stars mainly in praise of my favorite track (One Wish). The rest of the CD is certainly enjoyable but mediocre in comparison, I think. This is not Hiroshima's finest release, but rather a great introduction.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must for Hiroshima and Jazz fans alike!, February 5, 2002

By	Joseph Park (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Another Place" was my first Hiroshima CD, but it certainly wasn't my last! The instrumental "One Wish" is their greatest musical masterpiece ever, and I doubt that they'll ever top it. Barbara Long did an excellent job in performing "Save Yourself For Me". This song is great to listen to when you're with someone special, on a couch or sharing a blanket while sitting underneath a sea of stars.

Though this album's instrumentals are sensational, I decided to give it four stars. I enjoyed "Save Yourself For Me" & "Stay Away", but the rest of the songs with lyrics are rather hokey, and they don't do justice for Barbara Long's tremendous talent for singing.

That aside, "Another Place" is a classic & memorable piece from Hiroshima.

5.0 out of 5 stars Traditional Japanese Music + Jazz = Fusion, November 16, 2005

By	rodog63jr (bronx, N.Y.C. N.Y. USA) - See all my reviews

Although Fusion Jazz wasn't used much when this album came out in 1985, Hiroshima was definitely a pioneer in that area. They were the first Japanese group to have a video on BET (Black Entertainment Television). The Best cuts on this album are One Wish and Another Place. A great album to listen to!!
