This is mainly cool jazz… most of the tracks are as cool as you can get it. If, like me, you like to reside in the Allan Holdsworth solar system, think “None too soon”. If you are my age or a bit older, think Dave Brubeck quartet – that kind of cool jazz. As cool jazz comes, this is highly romantic cool jazz. There are a few more energetic, fusion-like tracks too, but the main atmosphere is laid-back, melodic, atmospheric.
The middle section of the last track (titled 362) seriously channels Allan Holdsworth – not the Allan Holdsworth of the solos in Devil Take The Hindmost or Zarabeth, but the Allan Holdsworth in the opening section of Above and Below. I detected more Holdsworth hints in this album… which apparently rings a bell because Mai as well as a couple members of her band are ardent Holdsworth fans – but it does definitely not rub off to the point where they are trying to replicate him

"I’m so imperfect, that’s why I’m able to let everything out and let people see everything. ‘Cause I’m just a mess like every other person that’s a mess out there. And it’s going to take probably a lifetime to get to a point in my life where I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m perfect.’ I don’t think that will ever happen. So as long as I’m a human being and I’m not perfect, I’m able to put it into my music."
