Keyboardist Greg Foat returns to the territory that first made us take notice of his skills many years back – more jazz-based music that's heavy on his own work on Fender Rhodes, Moog, and a variety of other keyboards – but which also features strong contributions from the other members of the group! This time around, that group features the legendary Art Themen on soprano sax – a legendary British player who's made some great records over the years – working with a younger group that also features superb tenor from Rob Mach, and flugelhorn from Trevor Walker – a player whose deep tones and wide sound are a perfect fit for the keyboards. There's plenty of drums and percussion in the mix, keeping things live and spontaneous – on titles that include "Sinister Undertones", "Blue Step", "Electric Dreams", "Lullaby For Leo", "Unconditional Love", and "The Bull Leap".

A set that's more electronic than some of the other recent albums from Greg Foat, but a record that still fits nicely inside his style – that understated approach to keyboard-driven jazz – heavy on influences from the past, yet never delivered in a way that's too straightforward at all – in a lineage that just has things getting more and more complex as Foat keeps on making records! This time around, Greg's teamed up with Linkwood – and the set has elements that move between 70s and 80s electronic styles, including occasional rhythm patterns – sometimes a bit more upbeat than we're used to hearing from Foat, but still with all the spacey touches that we love in his music. Titles include "Es Vedra", "Pressure", "Bentley 101", "Neutrino", "Push It", and "Mysterious Richie". LP, Vinyl record album
