The first of violinist
L. Subramaniam's string of Milestone recordings (and one of the ones that have been reissued on CD), this fusion-oriented set has strong doses of world music. In addition to the leader, the key players include
Tom Scott on lyricon, soprano and flute, and guitarists
Jorge Strunz and
Larry Coryell; other guests include keyboardist
George Duke and bassist
Stanley Clarke. The music is atmospheric, challenging and often quite accessible, certainly falling into a unique niche.
