Reviews
Great pressing. Very well balanced and nicely mixed with an expansive soundstage. Highly recommended.- Never heard of him. Picked this up blind at the thrift. Was grouped with breezin and Montovani. I bought em all.
Funky cool late seventies electric guitar with a South American vibe. Takes yiu away and leaves you lightly energized in nicer more together state of mind. Great to come down a touch after long day. Listen in one go, it's a planned trip. At least as good as Beeezin, if that not overrated. If not a masterpiece, then a damn fine work of art that should stand the test.
