3 stars No progressive rock here just pure avant jazz.

There is no singing, just a tinkling of vocalizations. Aside from that the music is very sparse. I find it indistinguishable from other similar records and the songs themselves unmemorable. Listening to this album was like listening to cars driving by. I don't find it's presence pleasant. On the flip side the music is quite inoffensive for Avant due to the spacey instrumentation. I also like that instead of becoming less "weird" music, Maelstrom developed into a different kind of quirky, which really gives them an interesting discography.

Overall very meh, only people I'd recommend this to are people interested in an ambient avant jazz record.
