A solo album released in 1982 by Dutch guitarist Jan Akkerman, known for his role as a main member of the jazz-rock group Focus, as well as for his solo work spanning various styles including progressive rock, fusion, disco, and electronic music. The album features a consistent urban atmosphere with tracks like the floating New Age fusion of A1, created through synthesizer pad sounds and overdubbed acoustic/electric guitars, and the melancholic electric guitar solos against drifting synthesizer pads, evoking beautiful sunset landscapes in the mellow fusion of A3. Additionally, the album showcases Akkerman's prowess in progressive jazz-rock, presenting a nice crossover of styles throughout.
