国産ACID JAZZ/クラブ・ジャズ記念碑！レゲエ/ラヴァーズ・ロックな「INDIAN SUMMER」、ファラオ・サンダース「THE CREATOR HAS A MASTER PLAN」カヴァーも素晴らしい！
小林径、荏開津広、青木達之、ジェームズ・ ヴァイナー、鄭秀和らによる伝説のユニット。日本のクラブ・ジャズ・シーンを語る上でも欠かせない作品であり、アフロ・ジャズ・ファンク「DANCE THE SOLUTION」に、エスニック色漂うブレイクビーツ・ファンク「THE AWAKENING SUITE」などの、ファンキーな楽曲はもちろんですが、「INDIAN SUMMER」は涼しげでルードネスも孕んだレゲエ/ラヴァーズ・ロック。哀愁メロウ・ソウル「STEALIN’ THE LIGHT」、ファラオ・サンダース「THE CREATOR HAS A MASTER PLAN」カヴァーも素晴らしいです。
