Questo album Ã¨ stato registrato durante una esibizione dal vivo di Ruggero Robin alla Fornace, locale di Mestrino in provincia di Padova, nel 1996. Si tratta di una registrazione che ricorda una performance live tecnicamente ed emotivamente grandiosa. I brani presenti sono in parte contenuti nel disco "Vice Versa" e sono stati splendidamente eseguiti dagli stessi musicisti che successivamente hanno partecipato alla registrazione del disco. Nel brano "Nicola", Carlos Gonzales accompagna ed arricchisce con la sua potente voce la melodia.

Questo album Ã¨ stato registrato negli Stati Uniti con musicisti di grido come Alex Acuna, Giulio Capiozzo, Oscar Kartaya ed Enzo Todesco. La musica Ã¨ una fusion jazz dai toni garbati con Robin spesso allo strumento acustico ed i ritmi latini che fanno spesso capolino. Non mancano comunque i pezzi grintosi come "Time out", "Lifetown" e "Happy birthday to me" con Robin ottimo anche allo strumento elettrico. Incisione curatissima e molto presente.

In questo suo CD, Ruggero Robin, si cimenta alla chitarra classica ed acustica e, partendo ora da sereni e pacati orizzonti sonori che lo collocano nel panorama new acoustic, ora da intensi graffiti funk, si invola con solismi variegati, accurati e saettanti, ma non privi di phatos.
