The album consists of five substantial tracks—four are longer than ten minutes,
and two exceed the fifteen-minute mark—bookended by two much briefer,
minimalistic ruminations which heighten the unease that characterizes this
music. Nothing is quite as it seems; overt melodies are rare, rhythms are
always forming and fracturing, and there is rarely a "lead" instrument, as all
four players specialize in developing their ideas in conversation with the
others. It is not freely improvised, but Smith's capacious compositions leave
abundant room for space and creativity, and Taborn, Maneri and Frisell are all
capable of capitalizing on it. ]...]
