Review

by John W. Patterson

This is the third release in a series of improv-based, studio/ live recordings Steve Khan released with bandmates , , and . It has a very similar flow and groove to Eyewitness and ModernTimes, the second release in the trio of Khan's '80s Gibson guitar tone period.

What immediately stands out, notably on "Some Sharks" the Police-esque track and "The Suitcase," are the excellent vocals by Manolo Badrena. On this song and others, he has quite a great time cutting loose, wild-man style, in a heavily reverbed fashion adding a deeper Latin-flavored atmosphere. This instantly causes one to think of ' chord stylings and voicings in Khan's guitar.

Paralleling Khan's masterful guitar work, it is noted by Khan that bass and drumming enthusiasts cite this as the record to get of the trio's '80s releases. Sadly, due to many financial and lack-of-touring issues, this master lineup finally broke up after this release. All the aforementioned Antilles recordings barely saw a U.S. release coming out four years after they were recorded.
