Three strong musicians present here a wonderful, one can safely say that inspired romantic and intense Klanggemälde- in the best sense, it seems, by the magnificent landscape of Norway. There's like to Kitsch imminent danger, there lurks sticky-sweet stuff that you have tired quickly. Not so with Rypdal (guitar, synthesizer), Vitous (bass, strong!) And de Johnette, the virtuoso drivers on drums; Here times outweigh the floating, meditative elements, sometimes one takes pace and is a bit more experimental, a little edgier. The result is a fascinating, mostly quiet but decidedly jazzy album from a single source, the especially suitable if you want to close your eyes and find inner peace, without falling asleep. Highly recommended!
