There are hints of Weather Report and Me'shell Ndegeocello, and even stronger hints of Milne's mentor, Steve Coleman. Yet Milne is his own man, distinguished not only by his sharp-edged piano and keyboard work, but also by his social and spiritual messages -- articulated here through the hip-hop, slam-style poetic asides of vocalist Kokayi. One of the album's many surprises is a burning and highly personalized version of Joni Mitchell's "Free Man in Paris," featuring Vinia Mojica on vocals. Gregoire Maret's soaring harmonica solos on "Bermuda Triangle" and "The Phoenix Cycle" add a further layer of unpredictability. Milne's complex, M-Base-derived approach to funk is handled adeptly by bassist Rich Brown and drummer Mark Prince. (Patrice Blanchard is the bassist on "Free Man In Paris.") Guitarist (and co-producer) Sean Rickman burns it up on "The Millennium Bomb." Not every track is a hands-down winner; "Strictly Stern" meanders a bit. But Andy Milne makes his mark as a sophisticated, high-energy performer with important things to say.
