Upbeat funky jazz from Switzerland. A mix of M-Base style retro slap bass with European jazz orchestration. The whole album is fast & energetic, not as spacey and mellow as the recent Lucien Dubuis album.

*1. Happy funky energy.
2. Spacey & Mysterious start then more upbeat
3. Jazzy & speedy
*4. Driving, angry
5. Slow swing speeds up gradually
*6. Ensemble work, then tense background for solos
7. Slow, measured pace. Lots of long tones
*8. Throbbing pulse with free solos and tight ensemble passages
*9. Dub style funky
