Album Review
Craig Matsumoto
Reviewed 2004-04-18
Another fine outing from this Euro outfit. Melodic, friendly pieces with a heavy classical-music influence that produces nicely spiky rhythms and some great soloing.

Led by violin and French horn, with a piano (John Wolf Brennan) and bass keeping the beat rather than drums.

1*- Fast, railroad-like theme. Slow trumpet start. Really cool bass solo
2- Mid/fast, pleasant and peacefully rolling
3- Deep, gloopy, glowering noises
4*- Long soft tones over nervous bass beat
5*- Happy percolating bit. Mid/fast.
6- Slow, groany, exploratory. Dijeridoo-like opening.
7- Insistent, driving beat.
8- Solo horn, slow
9+10 - Perky mid/fast horn solo, then long tones
11*- Fast, perky, short
12- Light and delicate; mid-fast but new agey
13*- Mysterious, flowing, with rhythmic nonsense chants. Quiet start.
