The song selections cover the group's entire career, ranging from new arrangements of several of classics to covers and seven previously unrecorded originals. There are a couple of vocals on the record, but the core of the album is Fleck & the Flecktones' dynamite instrumental improvisations, where they can demonstrate the true range of their eclecticism and talent. Of special note are the songs that feature jams with Branford Marsalis, Chick Corea, and Bruce Hornsby, who help spur the Flecktones to new heights. ~ Thom Owens Editorial Reviews ...it's really rather spendid, in a kind of self-indulgent and completely mad way....Marvellous. NME ...The collective virtuosity is stunning--like Jaco Pastorius two decades before, Wooten has redefined the bass....the Flecktones manage the difficult task of making intensely complex music accessible and fun....these guys love playing together, and it shows... Musician (19970201) A live performance by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones is a celebration of the joy derived from making complex music that's fun at heart... JazzTimes (19970301)
