We don’t determine music,
the music determines us;
we only follow it
to the end of our life:
then it goes on without us.

It begs to be born and,
wants to go it’s own way,
we just make it up and:
then we let it out.

Music speaks for itself,
and needs no explanation
or justification.
Either it is alive,
or it is not.

Steve Lacy ‘90

This record has such a magical flow to it, it seems to capture so directly the ups and downs of life, the joy of music and dance, and it's just so damn catchy and fun to listen to as well. Giles
