Album Notes & Community Reviews
A stunning artifact of the vibrant Eastern European jazz-fusion scene, marked by incredibly playful, deeply melodic instrumental improvisation. The Polish ensemble heavily utilized the Fender Rhodes and analog synthesizers to create a distinctly calm, somewhat futuristic atmosphere reminiscent of the Canterbury scene. It stands as a masterclass in relaxed, structurally complex jazz-rock musicianship from behind the Iron Curtain.
