Hi Greg, only today I discovered this excellent band, you did a great job on bass, even excellent ...!

[@stu5163]

Hi! I'm bassist too, your music is a source of inspiration, thank you Greg What's your bass on this album? It sounds really amazingly

[@stonedtoad9456]

Hi Greg, amazing work! Do you know if any CD copies are around of this album? I would LOVE to have this on that format.

[@seadawgg65]

Aloha Greg! Did you guys record any other albums? I remember fondly, picking up a used tape of a band named Neofusion back in the late 80s but it was different than this tight, funkier album. Hope all is well with U & all the band members! Seedogg in Cali4nia

Good work!

@gregbrown391 my mom says she used to watch you guys at Talk of the Town? restaurant in Pretoria back in day. You guys were her first introduction to fusion! A blast from the past!

Aweh.. correct 😉

Great pick! Never heard, but dig it a lot. Pretty cool! Pure prog-jazz; amazing strings and keyboard works. Greetings from Brazil!

Hi Greg, just to say this is one amazing album. I see it's no longer available but at least we can get it from KZbin. Excellent music.

Hi, my name Abel Stoltz, Greg Brown gave me bass guitar lessons in the late sixties. He changed my whole life with regard to music. What a musician. Well done Greg.

[@gregbrown391]

Hi Abel, thanks for those very kind words. I am pleased that I could make a difference. All the best, Greg.

I always come back for more on this one , gotta lock down a vinyl soon !

[@tshepomasango1483]

Great Album, very proud of the fact that you are South Africans. I never knew that such talent existed here!!

[@GT-mq1dx]

So bored with music nowadays even lots of stuff I grew up on in the 70’s and 80’s anymore, it’s just not holding my attention. So I’m watching this reaction video to Roundabout from YES earlier and I thought, why not just look up jazz/rock fusion. The first video I came across was a young band trying really hard at sounding like fusion, but instead came off as more like psychedelic elevator music. Good technical abilities but not really musicians with decent imagination. This was my second pick and am I totally blown away with what I’ve heard in just the first two songs. Killer music Greg, my hats off to you guys. Awesome.

[@gregbrown391]

Thanks Gilbert, I'm pleased you are enjoying it. Much appreciated. All the best to you and your family.

this is amazing this channel rules

[@JoseFuentes-fn3dl]

Good stuff! I hear a soundtrack vibe to this music. I can hear this in an 80's action flick or something.

[@debrandymiller7161]

with all the diamonds that come from south africa these cuts shine the bightest. congrats!!!

[@shredmaster300]

Insane groove

[@MartinSack365]

This is absolutely excellent. Greg the bass player is a mate of mine. We grew up in a small town in South Africa. It just goes to show vast intellects and incredible musicians thrive in small towns not always huge cities. Yes it has taken 32 years but well worth the wait. Keep moving forward Greg and keep it hot.

[@gregbrown391]

Thanks Martin - much appreciated. Next time you are in South Africa please give me a call and we can get together for a jam.

[@yeetusyourmeetus]

If you're the Greg referenced in the original comment, really nice job! You play so well and I really like the chorus effect you've got on your tone!

Greg Brown was the brains behind this all! Best musician I have ever had the pleasure of being taught by. I actually drove past him on the road today. Absolute legend, genius, virtuoso and Maestro!

[@gregbrown391]

Thanks for the kind words Rowan. The truth is that all three of us (Roy, Gabi and myself) contributed equally. I could never have done it on my own. Without Roy and Gabi this album would never ever have come to fruition.

[@rowanzerf]

Greg Brown just take the compliment!

[@stonedtoad9456]

Just ordered this vinyl though I don't own a record player haha this is easily one of the best fusion albums I've heard of the 80s.

[@razorsharp6313]

Great music. Very smooth and catchy. Could listen to this album all day. A lot of talent went into this

[@dl99up]

used to have this on cassette. Bad album. learned all the bass lines. Was so sad when i lost that tape Glad to see it here. Good stuff.

[@lukiecarelsen3305]

Excellent! Taking into consideration this album was recorded about 30 years ago in 17 hours! Amazing musos! Worldclass!

Greatest album in South Africa during the 1980's. I agree with the previous post "Why can't music be like this nowadays?"

Well recorded and well played. A pleasure to listen to. Hey Greg.

[@gregbrown391]

Thanks Dennis

[@cattybound2011]

I picked this up on cassette back in 1989 from my local Christian bookstore. I bought it purely based on the album cover but at the time I couldn't appreciate it because I was into a lot of thrash metal and just wanted to focus on that.. Wish I'd hung on to it longer, because I love it now!
