Once again Mulatu Astatke, has come to us from Ethiopia, with a new and different sound. He has interwoven into his fantastic arrangements, the beautiful Ethiopian five tone scale and the Afro-American soul and jazz sounds. The melodies and rhythms, pulsate through your mind hours after hearing them. This is a record you cannot play just once. It is musically addictive, especially when the volume is turned up. -- Gil Snapper
Those statements above are absolutely true. This album is so good in so many ways and of course let's not forget the sound, which is fantastic. Instrumental music is what I've been enjoying lately and anything that ties in a flute in the mixture makes me happy, seeing that I used to play flute. I would really love to start playing it again, but we shall see.
