'Guardian Of The Light' is Duke's finest album of the 1980's bar none. It begins with the orchestrated theme "Overture" with a high ended beat. The monsters "Light" with it's Clarke/Duke Project sound,"Fly Away" and the folkish "Soon" have a certain art jazz/rock edge that nobody has heard out of Duke in some time. Two catchy R&B songs "Born To Love You","You Are The Light" and the jazz pop of "Give Love A Chance" are three of Duke's best ballads. And of course the Dukey Stick still offers up some seriously dangerous funk in "Shane", the militantly antiwar "Silly Fightin" and the classic "Reach Out". He even pulls some electro funk out of his pocket with the instrumentals "Stand" and "Celebrate" then touches on classical on "The War Fugue". Includes 3 bonus tracks. Limited edition of 2,000.
