The best of Bela's early period,
October 30, 1998 By A Customer
This review is from: Places (Audio CD)
Surprise! There actually was a Bela Fleck before the Flecktones, and this disc captures most of his best material from this period. The majority of this CD is amazing, though there are a couple of clunkers. This material really shows the humor and quirkiness of Bela's style; come on now, how can you resist a tune called "Nuns for Nixon"? Fans will want to supplement this disc with a few others to truly represent this period of his career: "Deviation" (which is partly represented on this disc), "Drive" (which is not), and "Inroads" (also partially represented here). "Daybreak" also comes from this period of Bela's development, but is in a much more traditional bluegrass style; a very worthy disc in its own right (maybe 4 stars) which will appeal to the right audience.
You can't go wrong with Bela,

This album has some great bluegrass on it. Bela is truly a master of the banjo and you'll hear that on this CD.

After listening to a sample track on Pandora.com I knew I had to buy it. Great banjo playing by Bela Fleck. Track 6 is my favorite, "Another Morning," acustic duet with Jerry Douglas. A winner.
