Together with Janda, they invited to cooperate with the excellent Boston reinforcements in the form of guitarist Alex Darson and keyboardist Eren Basbuk, whose friendly duels with the classic Olympic line-up are a welcome revival indeed.

The majority of the tracks are immediately recognisable as created by Olympic, with some coming across as nostalgic, yet none of the music is gloomy or sullen, with the "big-beat" themes of music, women, occasional alcohol and mature romanticism retained.
