Review by Richard S. Ginell
A
switch back to Atlantic finds Jean-Luc Ponty continuing to dabble in
West African waters while re-establishing his earlier solid base in
repeating sequenced patterns. The electronics are back, for Ponty splits
his time between the electric violin and various synthesizers and
sequencers while Abdou M'Boup and Sydney Thiam add African percussion,
which often takes a back seat to the electronics as the rhythmic basis
for the music. This time, though, the material Ponty has composed isn't
as compelling as it had been in the past; at times, Ponty sounds like he
is very competently treading water (though "Blue Mambo" has a
compelling groove). Yet despite all of the changes Ponty has put himself
through, his music still has a Continental elegance that cannot be
mistaken for that of anyone else.

Reseña de Richard S. Ginell
El
regreso a Atlantic encuentra a Jean-Luc Ponty continuando sus
incursiones en las aguas de África Occidental, al tiempo que restablece
su sólida base anterior en la repetición de patrones secuenciados. La
electrónica está de vuelta, ya que Ponty divide su tiempo entre el
violín eléctrico y varios sintetizadores y secuenciadores, mientras que
Abdou M'Boup y Sydney Thiam añaden percusión africana, que a menudo pasa
a un segundo plano frente a la electrónica como base rítmica de la
música. Esta vez, sin embargo, el material que Ponty ha compuesto no es
tan convincente como lo había sido en el pasado; a veces, Ponty suena
como si estuviera pisando muy competentemente el agua (aunque "Blue
Mambo" tiene un groove convincente). Sin embargo, a pesar de todos los
cambios a los que se ha sometido Ponty, su música sigue teniendo una
elegancia continental que no puede confundirse con la de nadie más.
