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.
