The debut album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and saxophone.
This band was put together for a festival and a piece of music was commisioned and paid for by the government of culture and education of Norway. This piece of music was then recorded in studio and the result is this album.
The music is jazz. The first couple of music gives us some very strong Soft Machine @ Fourth feelings. The music then moves on to sounding pretty close to the same band on the Six and Seven albums.
The bass is thundering and the saxophone and the guitars creates some good harmonies. Ditto for the keyboards.
The music is a mix of eclectic and melodic. A very nice mix indeed. The music has a lot to offer for both heart and brain.
It is a reminder how great jazz and fusion can be. How much a proghead too can enjoy these two genres.
This is indeed a great album and my candidate for the best album of 2023. I am really, really impressed by this album.
