HEARTWARE

I guess my co-reviewer mixed this album up with its follow-up since the track "Prima Donna" he mentioned is on that one and not here. This one here in fact is like most of Akkerman's later releases absolutely unrelevant for Prog. It's rather quite boring jazz fusion typical for 80's and to call it Muzak wouldn't be a description too far off. Don't get me wrong, not that Jan Akkerman wouldn't present some excellent guitar work (acoustic and electric) here but these compositions aren't anything beyond nice easy-listening music. Thus to be rated "only for completionists" = 1 star!!
