Reissue with the latest DSD remastering. Comes with liner notes. A gem of a record from Japanese keyboardist Masabumi Kikuchi – one of those massive Japanese fusion classics that was partly recorded overseas, partly here in the US – with a sound that brings together all the best soulful aspects of both scenes! Kikuchi can create some really weird, wonderful sounds when he wants – but can also slide into a groove with the best of them – and, given the vintage of the record, may well be more inventive than Herbie Hancock ever was at this point in his career! The lineup's filled with great talents – trumpeter Terumasa Hino, reedman Steve Grossman, and guitarist James Mason – coming together wonderfully on titles that include "Sky Talk", "Madjap Express", "Alacalder", and "Sum Dum Fun".

"ORP Orzeł" (2006) is a musical vision of tragic and romantic history of brave crew of polish submarine. Music from this album has been used as a soundtrack to the documentary movie "Legend of the Orzel". But is it only a soundtrack? "ORP Orzeł" gives a lot more to the listener - it takes you underneath the waves, right to the interior of a Polish submarine taking part in IIWW military actions. The first of the eight untitled tracks is a great introduction to that. Sounds coming from afar, somewhere between hasty footsteps and engine room noise you can hear hums of explosions…
