 I believe that the point of listening to this work lies precisely in the virtuosity, in the instrumental progressions, in the scales performed at "robotic" speed: trying to engage with a Hiromi album while hoping not to encounter virtuosity is like listening to a Punk work and hoping not to hear noise.

 the thirty-four-year-old from the land of the rising sun seems to genuinely enjoy herself immensely, and thisclearly shines through her music, perpetually balancing between fusion, rock, avant-jazz, and classical, a melting pot endowed with a contagious and vital intensity and a markedirony ("Endeavor" is more than an exemplary example) capable of demolishing even the most solid jazz-snob's immune defenses of the most skeptical.
