Once again Cece Giannotti brings us his tight combination of Rock Ballad Acoustic sounds and impressionistic, emotion evoking poetry. This time the very patch work structure of the memories and journeys recounted, are less immediately intoxicating; but pull the listeners feet first into a world of positive learning and colours of personal experiences. Somehow the musicians of the group have managed to sew together their ideas to create a flowing quilt-work.

The opening song on the album “Black and Blue” with the familiar sounds of the singer/songwriters sensitive emotionality and love of sylistic fusion. This becomes evident as the album progresses through a completely independent oasis of jazz guitars, funk rhythms and Indian themes, in pieces such as “Mitakuyeh” and “Red Horse”, which echo Indian influences, which Cece had evidently been captured by.

“Mi Barrio” is a perfect example of how a persons roots are also what they have become, the dreams, the poetry and warmth of the music are given reason in time and space through songs like this.

The albums fresh and positive sounds born in the waters of personal encounters and love affairs, this is reinforced in his ballads “ The Chain is Breaking”, “Izabel” and “Two Worlds Collide”, songs which recall common human experiences.

Listening more than once to this album creates a relationship within which the layers of it adopt a life of their own, deepening in meaning each time, from the most physical to the highest spiritual level.

Recent airplay has come from Radio 2's Bob Harris, on his Friday and Saturday show. He was particularly fond of Sunstation's opening song "Black and Blue".
