A jazz record that manages to convey meditation in a truly dynamic sense. The compositions - none of which are original btw but hey i like pop punk who am i to criticize - are freeflowing and showcase various relationships: sax and piano, sax and bass, piano and bass and drums, etc. These allow the album's almost fusion character, not too far from "free jazz" - but devoid of atonality and any sense of wankery. I've seen many people complain about Garbarek's tone - to me its cleanliness only makes the different melodies shine and stick out.
