North Sea is where I came to the edge of my chair as I digested this offering. I know Jonathan is truthful, so he's not lying when he said that this set was in reality, improvised, but this tune sounds as if it must have been composed. It sounds as if the composer was armed with a grant from some Scandinavian Arts Council chartering him to make tribute to the epic tapestries of the ECM label, without somehow contriving a great ripoff. It's accomplished here- tres Terje. Alex Lacamoire's contribution here on keyboards and sustaining electric piano is invaluable, while Jonathan's tone at the end hints of the acid space experiments of a bygone American tradition. |

StarMusic gives us a couple of minutes of sound shaping and scraping, as a slow sinister bassline takes hold, giving way to a clean toned improvised melody that features some open strings in combo with fretted notes, giving us a hint of the Middle Eastern influence to come in later cuts. Jonathan cuts loose, giving himself ample time to develop ideas and fading himself out, probably as another transition is taking place. |
