The second album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and keyboards.
This is the followup album to their self-titled 2022 debut album. I reviewed this album three years ago, in July 2022 for # 3 of this blog. I gave it one of my few great album ratings. It was indeed one of 2022s best albums.
It is with sadness I have just learnt that their drummer Axel Skalstad passed away last week. He was also the drummer in Krokofant and a great drummer. Rest In Peace, Axel.
Their debut album was a fusion/jazz attack with high energy fusion. A very refreshing album that impressed a lot of people.
The tempo has been taken down a notch on this forty minutes long album, the follow up album. Their take on fusion is more mellow this time around.
All four band members does a good job on some very good stuff. The music is not as immediate and fresh as on their debut album. The quality has dropped a notch too. Nevertheless, this band has on this album established themselves as one of the best new fusion bands from Scandinavia, dare I say Europe too.
This is an album well worth checking out.
