Thanks for the recommendation. It's one of many East European albums I haven't yet got around to listening to. I was surprised to discover Arsenal Ensemble are from Russia. I thought they were from London, although you'd be lucky to find any English players in the Arsenal football team. 

I'd say, it's more Mahavishnu influenced, jazzy and some of it big-band-like.

1. Assume nothing.

2. Never go against your gut instinct.

3. Everyone is potentially under opposition control.

4. Do not look back; you are never completely alone.

5. Go with the flow, blend in.

6. Vary your pattern and stay within your cover.

7. Lull them into a sense of complacency.

8. Do not harass the opposition.

9. Pick the time and place for action.

10. Keep your options open. 

ABRAXAS   Not a Santana tribute band. No, this band are Poles apart from the sound of Santana as they're actually a Neo Prog band from the unpronounceable town of Bydgoszcz in Poland. If you've ever wondered what an "abraxas" is (no, me neither), it's an ancient charm that's believed to have magical powers.  This band certainly have the power to charm and they're as tasty as Polish cheese. Beware though, because only one Abraxas album has English lyrics, and there are no prizes for guessing which album that is.  

Anyway, Arla Cheasy® is a Danish brand for yoghurt, cheese, cottage cheese and fermented cooking products.
