Great collaboration between guitarist Steve Khan, who I discovered years ago when I bought his album Arrows based solely on its artwork, and keyboardist/synth-guy Rob Mounsey, who I don't think I've listened to outside of this record. Khan's jazz background certainly shines through, but the dated synths and drum sequencers make Local Color feel predominantly like a new age record.
Track listing:
1. Tafiya
2. The Blue Rose
3. I See a Long Journey
4. Gondolas
5. Intruder
6. The Hunt

I love this one, and Khan is an underrated ripper. Mounsey also had a thing called Flying Monkey Orchestra (I think?) and did some fun production work, like the bargain bin classic "Skindive" by Michael Franks.
ReplyDeleteI think Rob worked with Spyro Gyra in the early years ...
