SPARTA

This album holds a special place in my heart. Perhaps because it was the first work of Kenso I ever heard, it became my favorite Kenso album (I have most of them) and one of my all-time-favorite listens since 1994.

True, it has a distinctively 80's fusion production, but that is something I have always liked. The playing on this album is stellar throughout, the compositions are top-notch, and it flows nicely from track to track.

The strains of this album have sounded in the background of many stupendous road trips and camping expeditions through the mountains and desert of Colorado and Utah and they are fitting sounds indeed!

The main reason I wanted to post a review here was to at least give one 5-star rating to this underrated gem. Chris Fournier
