I've enjoyed going down the ECM rabbit hole recently as a jazz fanatic and im developing a small collection of gems. Like the last reviewer said, this is an amazing listen! Soft yet gritty drum and bass vibes throughout, very reminiscent of the golden age of drum and bass back in the day. This is superb! I'm amazed it's so cheap in comparison with other ECM 'treasure'. Just get it

Played this at a party once in 2003 everyone was asking who or what this music was...If music catches otherwise disinterested ears then theres something special in deep down the artist wants to let out. Lets just say this was and still is my favorite in his catalog as it melds electronica, jazz and avant all in a forward headspace done all with clarity and conviction. Nils was at the top of his game playing some amazingly "Miles" like trumpet wrapped in a womb of modern sampling and live band melange. Superb time less ECM!
