Read the first review, from Dr.Neil March, Trust the Doc Blog Ed. 95 310824:
".... This reminds me of the material I used to hear on Jazz FM in the early 2000s before that station got ruined. Smooth lightly funky Jazz dominated by dexterous saxophone and flute (by Alan) and clever keyboard work (by Clive) to create a TV theme aura that would sound great on a cop show or similar. Melodic, sophisticated and expertly executed with fine musicianship at its core."
