Remastered from original tapes this CD is a must for all Akkerman fans. Fresh air is a single piece featuring Jan's frenetic multi-tracked guitar playing backed only by bass and drums played by his friends from Focus.

The second side features a mixture of rock music and acoustic guitar playing. Worth a listen if you have not heard it before and worth the price if you want to replace your old worn vinyl copy.
