This album is a must have if you like Ecm's output but are a little turn off by some of their more eclectic productions. This cd has it all. Great, original compositions (Edward Vesala is the closest comparison), incredible playing and terrific sound. Of the 2 Krakatau on Ecm i like this the best and should appeal to all listeners looking for adventurous yet hum-able jazz influenced music.
