"If you are faint of heart, procede no further. For herein lies some of the most serious jazz ever uttered. Die Heir Von Schlippenbach has assembled a fine trio indeed. Mr. Paul Lovens on percussion does excellent on providing (can I even say beat) to this discordant beauty. As Maestro Evan Parker on reeds accomplishes with his saxes sounds which I would not have even thought possible until now. At one point utilizing a difficult eastern technique called cicular breathing to attain what is essentialy one note for an extended time. Take this not as hoh hum for he does amazing things with this one note. Make no mistake, this music is superior. Performed by geniuses of excelling magnitude. If you have reason to believe you're ready to elevate your listening experiance by quantum leaps, then by employing all means necessary, do acquire this disc."
