Deep rhythmic patterns drive this release, featuring significant experimentation with synthesizers. Pieces such as Actual Proof demonstrate how the ensemble expanded the possibilities of jazz through a heavy funk influence.
Captured during the peak of the mid-seventies fusion movement, the recording exhibits a compressed, electric feeling. The music functions as a primary record of the period when jazz moved toward more intricate, multi-layered studio arrangements.
