I picked up this album a few years ago based on other work I'd heard from Siegel. I paid a dollar. I paid too much. To me, the album sums up everything that was wrong with smooth jazz/world music/new age/instrumental adult contemporary in the mid-'90s. Yawn. I guess I'm missing something because allmusic gave it ★★★★½: "one of his most original and intriguing discs. A smorgasbord of worldbeat sounds, beats, and textures..." Jazziz Magazine also loved it, calling it "one of the most original and intriguing discs of this or any other year." Ah well, the clearance bin is always a crap shoot - you win some, you lose some.
