The refined skill and taste of contemporary French jazz blends beautifully here with a clear love of '80s fusion and Brit-funk. Just scanning the credits is overwhelming — Fender Rhodes, Sequential Prophet-6, Minimoog, Oberheim Matrix 6, Logan/Hohner String Melody II, Roland Juno-106 and other vintage gear — yet on first listen it's the bass and drums that surprisingly hold their own as leading players.
