First heard this band on Valentyne Suite, and loved the instrumental of same name. So got this one and am absolutely floored, an excellent album of jazz-rock , one of the VERY BEST have ever heard. "Mandarin", Debut and Those about to die are just magnificent. Feel this album is far superior to VS.
