CROSS-COLLATERAL

This album is one of the highest rated Passport albums and for a good reason. The musicians are top notch, the compositions are of good quality even though not essential. The first two tracks are more adventurous and in a clear fusion spirit, the second half of the album is not so strong and leaves something to stay memorable. I like the mellow last track. The instruments are balanced, the saxophone leaves space for others to shine out. Mellotron and Moog add to the cozy atmosphere. Overall a really good album but non-essential for a progger and the same holds for a fusion/jazz-rock specialist. 3 stars well deserved!
