I just bought my copy last week after I had that album on Lp for a long time and it's still great great music...one of Alphonse's finest Fusion bands and a Fusion classic in general, Alphonse is in top form here! Check it out!

Here's some interesting trivia for you Niki as a Mouzonian. The track Nyctophobia is actually Nyct A Phobia which was an Eleventh House tune, which you undoubtedly know.

But where does the title come from ? NYCTA is an abbreviation for New York City Transit Authority which runs the subway system that you had the chance to experience during your visit here last year . And a Phobia is a fear of something. So thus, NYCTA Phobia is a fear of the NYC subway system.

Peace, TED

Hi Ted,

My cousin once thought the same thing, but Nyct O phobia is the fear of the dark..nycto comes from the latin word nicto which is the dark/night.
Maybe the title has two meanings though, who knows? There's certainly reason enough to be afraid of the New York subway system!

Peace
Niki

oh, I see, on Level One its really spelled NyctAphobia...I think we will have to ask Alphonse about that!
