So far the best and most adventurous album of the year! The Swedish jazz master, one of the world's greatest trumpet players, reaches a new plateau of unlimited creativity; redefining labels and breaking musical boundaries with wild solos, deep grooves, complex textures and gorgeous sound structures. Taking Miles' "Agharta" and "Dark Magus" to the new millenium, with lots of Rhodes, synths, electric guitar, tablas, darbuka, zither, drums, and the Conn Multi Vider. Unbelievable!
This high quality vinyl pressing comes with a top class gatefold cover and has a pristine warm sound.
