Track listing

All tracks written by Jukka Tolonen.

Production

"Aurora Borealis" commences as a brass-dominated exercise in R&B, then switches to an uptempo fusion piece with analog synthesiser solos. "Starfish" is a lively, elaborate jazz composition originally written by Tolonen for the Pori Jazz Festival in 1974 which allows for extended solos on guitar, trumpet, saxophone, and synthesiser. "The Sea" is a midtempo jazz piano ballad with full band accompaniment. "The Hook" begins humorously with guitar strings detuned before launching into its whole tone scale-dominated melody. "Together" is a sensitive electric guitar and piano ballad.
