4 stars Trio of great jazz musicians plays aerial, very liquid, down-tempo electric jazz fusion there. Rypdal's guitar technique is very specific, he plays electric guitar as built air castles in the sky early autumn's still warm night. His sound is not far from you, but he always has a distance. Slightly melancholic, but mature and very philosophic.

Miroslav Vitous brings his Eastern European soft-warm bass vibrations, when DeJohnette is master of atmospheric jazz drumming - minimalistic, but always presented. Possibly, one of the best Rypdal albums, highly influenced by unique combination of musicians temperaments.

Album's music is similar to ambient soundscapes, but with light rhythm section presented in sound. It helps to have better frame and structure, but didn't destroy dreamy and clear characteristic ECM-sound .Whenever high quality music, this album could attract ambient, new age, jazz and fusion lovers. Very good entrance to Rypdal discography as well.
