Creators of refined and original albums, Spirit are undoubtedly one of the most interesting groups in the panorama of American rock, thanks to drummer Ed Cassidy (ex-jazz drummer) and guitarist Randy California (friend of Jimi Hendrix, from whom he had obviously learned a great number of tricks). This album came to life between '91 and '95, but it is not a collection, it is a real album and of high quality. The guitar of Randy California flies free from the first track, "Shake My Ego," featuring a Hendrix-style intro, while "Compromise" is a track that is 100% Spirit. "Close To You," features Jazz-styled improvisations, while "Mean And Beautiful," is again in the style of a certain well-known lefty from Seattle.
