    This vinyl pressing from 1983 sounds amazing. Flat and quiet album with an amazing soundstage. So many sound effects and different elements jump off of the wax. This experimental concept album by Herbie Hancock earned him a Grammy Award in 1984. Essential

      Great sounding LP without being too 'digital' based upon the use of so much synth and drum machines. Great details, depth and clarity without sounding too sharp. Glad I got it!

        That is about the most ignorant comment I have seen. You need to get out more.

          Very 80s, but still very listenable. Also a pivotal album in Herbie's career (though he's had several!)
