Unrelated to the prog band ELP; this is a jazz trio from Switzerland that uses electric piano and tabla (!) for a cool sound. Some of the composed tracks, like #2, are just gorgeous, very nice little jazz snippets with a keyboard emphasis. Others are freely improvised -- abstract but with a concentration on melody and beat; spacey in a friendly way. Enjoyable; a nice fit for folks not into the really outside stuff.
1*- Burbling mid/fast, into slower exploration
2*- Mellow and pretty, very nice
3- Slow, dark
4*- Fast, popping tribal rhythm, little sci-fi sounds
5*- Mid/fast, breezy, loping. A nicely rhythmic improv.
6- Cute little piece, sneaky rhythm
7- Fast, stumbly theme
8- A calm, free, rhythmic jam, mid-fast and open
9- Slow, delicate
10*- A sparse Bitches Brew feel: slow, abstract, soulful
11- Very slow, sleepy
