Notes:  Acting as a one man band throughout this conceptual piece Jan does what he does best, play brilliantly. From his Mahavishnu roots to his Miami Vice days Jan is all over the map. The cover touches on natural elements and muted coloration to illustrate the early stages of creation. This may be better left for the fans familiar with the Hammer sound, but don't pass it up if offered.
