I am listening to this entertaining but confusing vinyl album as I type. This music attempts to present as Hawaian and has many elements of that music including slack string slide. It also has EVERYTHING else except rock and roll. Seems to have european elements as well ala Hot Club as well as malay/indonesian influences. I like the way there is a central slow romantic Hawaian thing and underneath, a top gun acoustic guitarist as busy as hell. Fusion? Hell yeah! Like it.
Hope
