Review
by Richard S. Ginell
Ponty embarks on more experiments in the future-is-now world of synthesizers and sequencers, where the painstakingly programmed machines often seem to generate an irresistible momentum of their own. As on Individual Choice, Ponty's melodies are immediately appealing in an almost Continental manner, whether spelled out on violin, violectra, or on the sequenced synths that set up the ostinato underpinning. Ponty has even less help than before -- no more than one or two supporting players on a few tracks. One of them is George Benson, who does his flavorful jazz/funk thing over Ponty's rhythm computer on "Modern Times Blues"; the other is Chick Corea, who appears on two tracks. This is almost as essential as Individual Choice, and in some ways, even more confident and assured.

Reseña
por Richard S. Ginell
Ponty se embarca en más experimentos en el futuro-ahora mundo de los sintetizadores y secuenciadores, donde las máquinas minuciosamente programadas a menudo parecen generar un irresistible impulso propio. Al igual que en Individual Choice, las melodías de Ponty resultan inmediatamente atractivas de una manera casi continental, ya sea con el violín, la violectra o los sintetizadores secuenciados que crean el ostinato subyacente. Ponty cuenta con menos ayuda que antes: sólo uno o dos músicos de apoyo en algunos temas. Uno de ellos es George Benson, que hace su sabroso jazz/funk sobre el ordenador rítmico de Ponty en "Modern Times Blues"; el otro es Chick Corea, que aparece en dos temas. Es casi tan esencial como Individual Choice y, en algunos aspectos, incluso más seguro y confiado.
