Clearly a gifted group of musicians that give good reason to be excited about the future of funky hybrid music. -Aja West (CEO Mackrosoft LLC Conductor/Composer/Producer)

it's very fresh and crisp, a great piece of work.. the guitar and keyboard sounds are so rich , i like to listen when i drive!! -Rob Smith
Spacey electronic jazz-fusion from the Land of the Rising Sun!...thirteen cuts that make fusion fresh again. -Wax Poetics
I really enjoyed this CD. I'm no music expert, so I can't tell you exactly the technical name for their style of music, but if you take jazz as the daddy, electronic music as the mommy, and have them mate on the top of the tallest building in Tokyo on a bright and sunny day, you'll get 9dw.
I gave it a 4 out 5, because it won't let me give a 4 1/2 out of 5, and because out of the 13 songs, only about 2 of them didn't really appeal to me as much as the rest.
