This is the second album released in 1984 by Jonas Hellborg, an exceptionally skilled bassist from Gothenburg, Sweden, who was a member of the Mahavishnu Orchestra led by John McLaughlin, alongside Jean-Luc Ponty, Jerry Goodman, Danny Gottlieb, and others. In his first album, he expressed a unique artistic vision through the use of multitrack recording for the bass. In this album, he continues with a similar approach, unfolding experimental performances throughout, featuring solos on the electric fretless bass and overdubs with four acoustic guitars.
The album showcases a melodic and groovy style, offering a considerable amount of cool and captivating listening experience. Additionally, it includes covers of tracks by Bill Evans and Jimi Hendrix.
