2 stars It's quite surprising that this album is featured here at this site as the music is practically nothing being progressive. In fact one of the songs featured in this album "Sweet Baby" was becoming radio hit at that time with many radio stations always put this song on air everyday. One thing that really interest me to have this album was the bass playing style of Stanley Clarke that sounded very dynamic by the standard of the past when this album was released. Look at the opening track Wild Dog which demonstrates bass guitar serves as melody of the song. I then become a fan of this album merely because of Stan's dynamic bass playing. Almost in every track he plays his bass that way.All tracks are basically an R&B style and basically easy listening where any music buffs would easily digest.

For prog heads, nothing is memorable from this album even though this is not a bad R&B album at all. It's for collectors only, I think - those who want to complete their Stanley Calrke collection.

Peace on earth and mercy mild - GW
