Tracks on this album are more extended and developed than on this Dutch group's previous release Present From Nancy. The opener "A Girl Named You" features super-tight, high-energy rhythm play and mischievous harmonic movement. In "No Tree Will Grow (On Too High a Mountain)" a spacious balled emerges from an ominous, guttural drone. "Energy (Out of Future)," which almost spans the second side of the album, starts as a triple-time march with free-form flute and traverses several episodes of varying wackiness and impressiveness. A final stretch of electroacoustic atmosphere segues into the final innocuous, melliflous track, "Higher." Beautiful, crisp production makes this album a treat to listen to.
