Title: Ok, so it's not their best...
Review: Although this is not the most exciting or experimental album by the group AREA, it is still a perfectly sound jazz fusion album, and indeed, a perfectly good Area record. If this were an Alan Holdsworth, Chick Corea or even a Soft Machine recording, you wouldn't hear such complaining. After reading the reviews, I was leery of buying it, but I like it just fine. It still sounds like Area to me, right from the beginning of the first track. Save for a bit of tape hiss, it is a fine recording as well. To be clear, it is not merely Area without Stratos. How could it be? But it is a perfectly good fusion record. The amazing thing to me is that all of these astounding (and astoundingly obscure) recordings are available again. After college, I didn't meet another Area fan for 20 years. Now, we get to complain about the "lesser" gems on Amazon.com. If you like other jazz fusion, you will not be disappointed. Versoix
