Cellist David Darling, best known at the time for his long stint with Paul Winter's Consort, mostly performs spacy ballads on this ECM release. Teamed up in different combinations (three unaccompanied solos, a duet, two trios and a quintet number) with Collin Walcott (who doubles on sitar and tabla), pianist Steve Kuhn, Jan Garbarek (on tenor and soprano), acoustic guitarist Oscar Castro-Neves and bassist Arild Andersen, Darling and his sidemen give the music a wide variety of sounds. However, the sleepy mood is very much in the stereotypical ECM mold, making this set mostly of interest for selected tastes. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
With pleasure...
It`s a pleasure to your ears, it`s a pleasure to your mind, it`s an inspiration to your soul. It slightly resembles good-old OREGON, cello-tabla-piano-sax-guitar. Pure acoustics, great album! ECM is ECM and Manfred Eicher is Manfred Eicher - M. Grigoryan "Equal Opportunity Listener" (Santa Monica,CA) (Amazon.com)
