The fourth offering from the guitar partners Brett Garsed and T.J. Helmerich finds the duo surrounded by some of fusion's best. The music has a distinctive Tribal Tech influence thanks to the presence of bassist Gary Willis, but the guitarists' distinctive voices make this a unique sounding quintet. Garsed's long flowing lines are complemented nicely by Helmerich's experimental sonic adventures, which are cohesively held together by the excellent supporting cast. Drummer Virgil Donati makes a memorable guest appearance on "SighBorg," while fusion master Dennis Chambers propels the band on the remaining tracks. The selections include the full-throttle fusion of "SighBorg," the metal-ish "Swarming Goblets," and the Zappa-influenced "I Want to Be a Pine Cone," and there's even some slide guitar on "A Thousand Days." While by no means groundbreaking, this is an enjoyable recording from two of fusion's most intelligent torchbearers. ~ Robert Taylor

I`m a drummer so was interested in this cd as I hadn`t got and music with Dennis chambers on drums so wanted a go. This cd will apeal to jazz, fusion lovers and musicians. It took me a couple of listens to get into it as some of the arrangements might be classed as off the wall but it is a great cd. Musician ship is simply superb with fantastic drumming by Dennis. Top class sessiom musos playing inticate stuff. Some futuristic sounds as well which push limits and the sound production is superb. I recommend having a listen. Cheers Phildo
