NATURAL SELECTION

Swiss born Berkley graduated Marc Wagnon's project "Tunnels" from very beginning was based on great vibes/bass/drums interplay. No wonder - other co-founder is ex-Brand-X bassist Percy Jones, demonstarting there his excellent fretless bass abilities.

As a bit unusual fusion trio, they play great music - modern jazz fusion, with some roots, but sounding very fresh. With strong contemporary jazz element. Being in fact minimalistic trio, they sound as real full-body sounded band.

I believe most important element of their music on this albums is perfectly balanced proportions of all components. Their fusion sounds fresh, but remembering its roots, never screaming, in moments even soft, but never too safe or cheesy. You can hear plenty of electronic sounds in album's music, but at the same time bass is on the first plan, and all electronics are used very tastefully.

In whole - great contemporary fusion album.
