This is the comeback album of the duo, who reunited after 12 years.
This album brings back the Brecker brothers' unique "hybrid fusion," a free-flowing blend of rock, funk, and jazz, with a refined '90s feel.
While incorporating the sound of the 90s, the album is a "declaration of return" as the title suggests, showing that Randy (tp) and Michael (ts, EWI)'s transcendent ensemble and sophisticated groove are not only alive and well, but have actually been updated.
