An urban fusion that combines cold beauty with smooth grooves.
Featuring Stanley Clarke and Eric Gale, the album combines meticulous ensemble and urban sounds, leaving an impression with a performance that combines sophistication and warmth.
The electric bass and low-end synthesizers quietly pulsate, while the guitar and keyboards engage in a close dialogue. The performance is tight yet spacious, and the composition, which makes use of the spaces between the sounds, creates a coexistence of urban coldness and warmth. Stanley Clarke's precise basslines drive the album, while Eric Gale's mellow tone adds a sense of floating. This album embodies CTI's aesthetic—transparent recordings and modern arrangements—and is a sophisticated album that symbolizes the maturity of '80s fusion.
