...Pastorius on production. It was still the early stage of polyphonic synths, Zawinul was into heavy keyboard treatment giving the record a slighly mechanical feeling just the opposite of the warm Heavy Weather, but on the other hand a real avantgarde record in terms of synth programming. Wayne shorter had a lot of outside the band work in 1978...

...Pastorius in insufferably overdoing everything as usual), to the soporific Forlorn and finally the overlong (11 mins) Madagascar overstaying its welcome already halfway through, this album exudes boredom through every pore and groove of the disc. Zawinuls keyboard choices are better than in Mr Gone and Sporting Life, but this is about the...

...Pastorius and Wayne Shorter is religated to a supporting player on this album. This album is pretty much a heavily laiden keyboard album. Victor Bailey is a nice addition to the mix.
