I would nation this album holds cracking things for everybody that takes their music seriously. This is Adam Nitti's showtime solo release too he's released 2 others since but I withal intend that this i is his best. You've got killer top shelf drumming throughout amongst Dennis Chambers beingness the well-nigh notable of them. This album jams correct from the start of the showtime runway schizo which is in all probability my personal favorite along amongst runway 3 Yin Yang which has Victor Wooten guesting on bass too laying downwards a sick solo. This album likewise has 3 bass solo pieces Fritter Boy & vic doom part 1 & part 2. These solo pieces are by too large 2 manus tapping agency songs amongst lots of unloosen energy too expert direction. The guitar playing on hither is inwards the progressive agency but amongst but about wah wah funk strumming thrown inwards for expert measure. Nitti's playing on the balance of the songs is tight too groove oriented to a greater extent than inwards a Jaco Rocco sixteenth authorities notation agency amongst solos from his 6 string too ripping slap grooves. This album is high octane fusion amongst a progressive stone overtone too it rocks out from start to finish, Buy it! By Jonathan Guarriello.

When an artist tin blend their technical talent amongst their tune writing might too last able to teach out on the listeners attending from start to finish... what y'all direct keep is a rare precious stone of a recording...
