Possibly, one of unique Terje ability is to mix quite
complex elements in his music with easy accessible ones, and as a result full product is easy to
listen but with complexities deep under the skin. This album is one of most free-jazz based his work, with free-form compositions and very free-jazzy drumming. Terje's regular collaborator trumpeter Palle Mikkelborg builds great trumpet aerial figures in musical space, its sometimes reminds Miles Davis softer moments. Keyboards are very important in that mix, and gave some melancholic scent to quite experimental sound. Terje's guitar is thing in itself, slow, atmospheric, very electric , but not heavy, more soundscapes-maker, than axe. There it sounds more jazzy than often ( in fact very often Terje plays jazzy compositions using quite rock-like guitar sounds). Cool, clear as Nordic air, music with such a complex, but never aggressive, brew inside is excellent work from Rypdal and his collaborators, one of the best between his albums from 70-s.
