Because of the lack of keyboards and because of the sober arrangements and production the 5 middle long tracks show some alikeness with the jazz-rock records that Bill Connors made during the 80's, where both de Raad and Connors, particularly in the harmony and advancement, are using the same working method as Allan Holdsworth. The difference with de Raad is that his solos seem to be played more from his heart, where each time the intriguing path of subtle start to a virtuoso climax is perfectly supported by the 'co-drumming' Mulder and solistic accompanying Godeke. Also the guitar sound is a story on itself. In the first three compositions resound beautiful fat tones. Inthe fourth composition "Down Deep" however, de Raad plays his solo a lot in the lower regions that almost suggest a Stanley Clarke like solo-bass sound that form a beautiful contrast with the jubilating high notes. The closing title track also starts with a somewhat pinched off deep timbre, this time in a ballad, until halfway after a heavy passage full of distortion, the glorious sound of the first three songs returns. If that isn't symbolic! A beautiful closure of a strong jazz-rock album.
