ALFI ALBARE/Only Human: Hmm, a laid back guitar fusion date that's based in uniting souls without touching on McLaughlin's inner mounting flame. There is an edge to it that makes it feel like something deeper than the usual easy jazz guitar date that actually has a fresh enough vibe that you can't put your finger on what it is. With a hand picked international crew at his side, Albare has changed direction from his past releases and served up something delightfully nu for a nu generation that's looking for something in their headphones besides noise. Well done. 5001
