Zavod's keyboards are what makes this for me. I lost my taste for high register violins way back when. Still like Billy Bang and Jason Hwang but my Ponty records have lain dormant for decades. Not sure why, but I find his violin sound irritating . . .

Ha, just noticed Tarnoski's comment. The cosmic tag got kickstarted back in the 70s, probably because 'space' was getting old. Cosmic = Space. Balearic is just a curiosity applied to anything that may possibly get play at Ibiza. Seems like the Norsk sound pumpers got that ball rolling. You could probably apply it to just about anything anymore, but it seems to imply guitars and keyboards with a dance groove . . .

Amazing rhythm ace

you can tire of the cosmic tag (balearica also) but I have to say, this is a cosmic jazz killer.
