It's hard to believe that this is a three person project, but jazz be like that sometimes. Drum forward, hard driving, surreal and ethereal....it's like being invited to someone else's trip, you dig? Prolific Czech bassist MIROSLAV VITOUS (from WEATHER REPORT), Norwegian guitarist TERJE RYPDAL who ECM called the "tone poet of the Stratocaster" and American drummer JACK DeJOHNETTE who has played with Miles Davis (he's the main drummer on Bitches Brew, so there's that), Alice Coltrane, Bill Evans and Sonny Rollins and.....I'm wondering why you still need more. Listen to the cymbal laden ambient masterpiece "Den Forste Sne" and the cymbal-laden "Will" and then...go back and listen to everything else here. Carefully. Don't just hear the sounds....listen to the sounds. Deeply listen please.

Can you imagine how many brilliant ECM records there are....? If I decided to dig in I feel like I might never come up for air.
