Edgy chamber-like session, like grand regal music played in a twisted, surreal kingdom. Unusual sound, due to the band being low-note instruments: trombone, viola, and oboe, in addition to bass and drums. Nice session, far removed from the sparse wheezes and squeaks that Bruckmann favors usually.

1- Tangly chaos; midtempo soloing space
2- Active but downbeat. Starts with long groans.
3- Serious classical intro; wandering Persian slow sparseness. Upbeat chamber finale.
5- Slow, almost mystical/meditative.
6- Clanky chaos, starts fast and slows down.
