Saxophones and clarinets recorded in an echoey cathedral, taking advantage of the acoustics. That's sort of their theme; the quintet has a previous album that was recorded inside a huge cistern.
Every track is a group improvisation, usually sticking to musical tones as opposed to "extended" playing. This lets the notes mingle and float in the spaceous cathedral, creating a nicely musical mesh.
1- Slow, melodic; almost chiming
2- Sparse popping sounds, then slow grumbly playing
3- Busy. Mysterious air
4- Fast flurry: Evan Parker's athletic circular breathing (playing for extended periods without pausing for breath). 2nd half is fast/busy.
5- Quiet, delicate... gets active later, and ends with nice chords
6- Low, low bass tones. Growly
7- High, shrill flurries
8- Busy and scratching. 2nd half quieter
9- Rapid soft sounds, including fingers on keys
10- Iceberg slow: big loud tones
11- Jumpy, like somber cartoon music
