A 1987 album by Swiss composer and guitarist Max Lasser, who also appeared on recordings by Andreas Vollenweider. His debut album Into The Rainbow is already an excellent work, and this second album is just as impressive. A2 is a beautiful fusion dancer built around an unforgettable combination of guitar and synthesizer phrases, while B4 features a superb interplay of fast-moving guitar and vibraphone over a Latin percussion rhythm. Elsewhere, the album continues the mystical and dreamlike crossover new age direction of its predecessor, resulting in a richly atmospheric set filled with what could now easily be described as new Balearic anthems.
A2: Where's The Mouse?
B4: Jungle News
