Available from online vendors so I will not be posting a sample. Presented here to share the cover art.

I have yet to pick up a Mystic Moods LP I didn't enjoy and this is another example. Many or most Mystic Moods sets experiment with environmental sounds blended with easy listening or mood music. This album doesn't include that "environmental" facet. The album plays, less like a concept set in that the tracks don't blend one into the next. The set plays more like a "standard" LP as in, the tracks are more distinctive, one from the next. The vibe is an easy/groove/funk/space thing. A unique blend and a fantastic recording.
