Release Notes:

Sweet keyboard grooves from the Xaver Fischer Trio. Haven't heard from this
outfit for a few years, but they still sound totally great. The group's format
is spare, simple and very much dedicated to the spirit of smaller 70s keyboard
funk with stripped-down basslines and drum part. All topped off by warmer waves
of sound from leader Xaver Fischer (who seems to be playing Fender Rhodes on
most of the set). Drums are nice and hard, but more complicated than just a set
of jazzy breaks. The overall feel of the album is lushly gliding and soulful.
Topped off by vocals on one tune, but carried by the strength of the trio on the
rest! And there's no remixes, no extra bits, or programming to mess up the
sound. Its just pure simple jazzy grooves from the trio!

Stu Grimshaw contributes his lyrics & vocals on "Better Times".
