Average Rating:
Rating: - Electronica?Jazz...yes.
For some reason, the internet calls this one Electronica.I feel it is very much Smooth Jazz.I follow some of Paul Hardcastle, but have decided that I must get the rest of the Jazzmasters series and his numbered CD...I have HARDCASTLE III and IV..now this 5.I think it rivals III...great.
Rating: 
- NOTHING SPECIAL....
I know I'm in the minority here...but this cd (as well as most of his smooth jazz efforts) is just a bit lackluster.
I strongly prefer his early, funkier/danceable tracks like "Rainforest", "Panic", "Guilty", "Don't waste my time", "Better", and many others from the early/mid 80's.
I do not mean to upset any hardcore hardcastle/smooth jazz fans, but c'mon people!This smoother material isn't exciting or funky like the older stuff.

Rating: - So love this album
If you're into eclectic variety of smooth jazz and fusion with a soft taste of electronica, then this is the album for you. It's really upbeat and the style of Paul Hardcastle will knock you off your feet wth awesome grooves. My personal favorite on this album is, 'Constellation of Dreams' which is a fluid song with syncopated rhythms and electronica.
Rating: - Solid Hardcastle
Another winner for those who like Hardcastle & the Jazzmasters. In typical fashion, there are some standouts andno bad cuts. Overall a very consistent effort of good, upbeat smooth jazz fusion. Great CD for driving or just chilling out.
Rating: - Not What I Expected
I thought I would truly love this CD, I was disappointed.There are several good songs on it, the rest are just average. Maybe it was just me but I felt his earlier work was much better.
