This release suffers from dated synthesizer sounds and so-so music. In fact, the title track sounds like bad Miami Vice music (which was bad enough already). To add insult to injury, they included an "extended version" of the title track in addition to the regular version. Most of the members of this band have released much better solo albums, including Danny Gottlieb's Aquamarine, Mark Egan's Touch of Light, and Clifford Carter's Walkin' Into the Sun. This is a major disappointment considering the talent involved.
