18 years after its release, the second recording from Fusion's pre-eminent power trio is made available on CD for the first time ever.
Gateway 2's reissue comes on the heels of the Billboard charting Homecoming, Gateway's October 1995 release.
 

Unlike the first Gateway album, this CD reissue puts more of an emphasis on the rockish side of guitarist John Abercrombie's style. Abercrombie (who also plays some electric mandolin) still indulges in close interplay with bassist Dave Holland and drummer Jack DeJohnette (who doubles a bit on piano) but the playing on the five group originals is generally more fiery than introspective. None of the individual selections are all that memorable but the group improvising does have plenty of surprising moments.
