Continuum (Rainer Brüninghaus album)

Continuum is an album by German keyboardist and composer Rainer Brüninghaus recorded in September 1983 and released on ECM the following year.

The trio features trumpeter Markus Stockhausen and drummer Fredy Studer.

[1] AllMusic's Thom Jurek calls the album "meditative, inviting, full of rounded edges and melodies.

It contains all the icy spaciousness of Manfred Eicher's trademark production, but the effect of Brüninghaus' compositions is warm, accessible even.

There is a valid argument to be made for the non-adventurousness of these works, and the fairly safe improvisations within them, but perhaps that's the point.
