메가데스에서 메탈만 주구장창 달리던 마티의 달콤한 휴식같은 솔로 앨범. 따스함과 차가움을 오가는 기타 인스트루멘탈의 정점. Nick Menza 의 힘을 뺀 드러밍이 마티의 기타 워크를 잘 받쳐주고 있다.

동양의 신비로운 숲속을 사뿐사뿐 노니듯이, 편안한 기타톤으로 연주하는 음악. 데뷔작에서는 어느정도 느껴지던 메탈의 기운이 두번째작에서 많이 줄어드나싶더니 세번째작인 본작에 와서는 아예 사라져 버렸습니다. 일본어 나레이션은 일본에 대한 마티의 흠모를 드러냅니다. 개인적으로 마티는 메가데스에서의 연주보다 솔로앨범에서의 연주가 더 멋지네요.
