A landmark album -- not only for Bob James, but for CTI and the Fender Rhodes as well! This is the album where all the magic starts -- the first of many extremely successful albums that Bob recorded during the 70s under his own name, and almost the birthplace of the modern hip hop keyboard sample line! The album's stuffed with great numbers -- including a sublime reading of "Feel Like Making Love", and the classic "Nautilus" -- a slow, dark, funky tune that's worth the price of the album alone! Other tracks include "Valley Of The Shadows", "Night On Bald Mountain", and "Soulero". Don't sleep on this OG pressing!!!
