Album Notes & Community Reviews
Danish fusion ensemble Secret Oyster recorded 'Astarte' as the musical score for a ballet commissioned by renowned choreographer Flemming Flindt. The instrumental compositions pivot toward a more melodic and mellow jazz-rock style compared to their earlier, more aggressive avant-garde inclinations.
