Contents

The band originally billed to play was the free jazz quartet Other Dimensions In Music, but Rashid Bakr's unavailability led to the fortuitous last-minute substitution of Alan Silva.

Reception

In his review for AllMusic, François Couture states "Digital synthesizers are not often heard in free improvisation contexts. They sound a bit cold and intrusive. But Silva's playing is so colorful that one quickly leaves his apprehensions behind."

The Penguin Guide to Jazz says that "the absence of percussion, unusual sound of a digital synth and occasional presence of two trumpeters give the music an unusual sonority."
