The band's synergistic approach consists of massive sheets of sound and sweeping undercurrents, as the musicians navigate a plethora of peaks, valleys, and swirling cadenzas... they spur each other through heated moments to complement a few sanguine interludes.

"[1] The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars, and commented: "The Enarre trio have worked together before and... they were clearly bursting to play: one piece, "SFERICS", passes the 30-minute mark with no apparent loss of energy or — more surprisingly — invention.

Murphy can stoke up some terrific bouts of noise at the kit, although for much of the way he's happy to play more sparsely... Futterman is as fulsome as usual, but Killion is perhaps the most interesting contributor, favouring the bow over the fingers and finding a powerful middle ground between cello and bass terrain.

But he doesn't feel it necessary to take an official solo until the final track... the drummer's co-workers operate at the same high level... abstract jazz has a tradition too; you can see its shape in the hands of these adept musicians.
