This new offering explores the twists and turns of highly personal compositions by guitarist Peter Petrucci. With Sam Anning (bass), David Jones (drums) and Jamie Oehlers (saxophone), the mood shifts – brightly, darkly, subtly, yet always with a firm purpose.

 

“You need to have innovative musicians with a strong resonance and connection to time and rhythmic variation. When you add 'heart' to this process you invite all involved to share in one continuous wave of self-expression.” – Peter Petrucci

​

The listener is most assuredly involved in this process, as one of the most important invitees in the equation. Enjoy the synergy as these players contribute equally: Sam Anning's musical, rock-solid bass, David Jones' masterful, right-where-it-should-be drumming, Jamie Oehlers' beautiful saxophone, both tender and tough, and Peter Petrucci's fluid, gorgeous guitar.

​

Throughout the CD, the feeling of space is there – sometimes more open, sometimes more confined. The contrasts are there as well, from the late-night 'Midnight Mourning' and the smooth ballad feel of 'Soul Illusions' to the energetic, searching title track and Peter's beautifully-crafted guitar solo on 'James'. 

Contrasts and balance – if the contrasts are well thought out, and played by artists of this stature, the balance is assured, and the result is a supremely enjoyable musical experience.
