Documenting a series of live takes from performances in 2018, the record explores the 'Majnoon' composition through an uncompromising lens of repetitive rhythmic assault. The production captures the visceral room energy of the quartet, highlighting Pat Thomas's percussive piano style and Seymour Wright's sharp alto saxophone phrasing. It represents a significant peak in the group's exploration of the intersection between Eastern modal music and Western free jazz.
