Album Notes & Community Reviews
Establishing his signature, delay-drenched electric guitar tone atop sprawling instrumental compositions, Terje Rypdal's double album 'Odyssey' is a monumental achievement for ECM Records. The record is profoundly atmospheric and highly repetitive, blending wonderfully passionate, deeply meditative jazz fusion improvisations with an incredibly nocturnal, surprisingly psychedelic ambient edge.
