The opener 'Illegal Aliens' is a real powerhouse of a track with Vic Samalot's fluid guitar runs, Jeffrey Scott's agile bass playing and some solid drumming and cymbals work from Vince Broncaccio. Bobbi Holt's organ also helps things along nicely. Styles that follow include some funky soul resplendent with wah-wah guitar and some wonderful synth lines and organ runs on 'Wuhan Incident' backed by some cool congas, drums and bass runs. (Parts of this would make a nice soundtrack to the new Starsky and Hutch movie guys!) 'Mystic jam' is more laid back with a haunting melody while 'Cole Train' does a pretty good job in interpreting its subject matter. Just when you think the train is stopping you get a high octane refrain segueing with some jazz piano into 'Feast of The Warrior Kings'. Really I could go on all day extolling the virtues of this music. Three of the tracks are live studio improvisations while two tracks have vocals- the closer 'Heading home', basically vocal accompanied by acoustic guitar is particularly effective and a fine way to wind down the album. This is highly inventive (mostly) instrumental progressive rock infused with more traditional styles in the classic style of Dixie Dregs. The making of this CD was a blast says Bobbi Holt- well all I can say is that I really envy the lucky people who attended the gig that evening in Cleveland, Ohio USA!
