Interesting band...kinda like a rock band with East Indian instruments. The artwork (considerable) all feature Eastern mythological figures, over 15 pages...comes with a bonus disc of remixes for the dance floor. Well worth the 4 quarters I paid.

The cover art looked cool, and I was hoping for some fresh acid jazz...ummm, not really.
Stayed too close to the 'smooth jazz' formula, so after the first couple tracks, the sameness loses my interest. Smooth jazz lovers would love it though. Incognito is still tops in the acid jazz-funk genre.

The Turkish Percussion group 'technorized'...first half of the album is all about the techno beat, the second half is the bare bones acoustic stuff. I like the second half better, the repetitive techno beat tends to wear on you....too much of many things...
