Album Notes & Community Reviews

Led by saxophonist Klaus Doldinger, the acclaimed German ensemble incorporates slick, synthesizer-driven textures into their established fusion sound. 'Ataraxia' features highly melodic, tightly arranged compositions that drift away from their heavier earlier works in favor of a polished, almost tropical late-1970s atmosphere.
