A masterpiece duo album released in 1982 by two legendary guitarists who could be considered the defining figures of ECM—Ralph Towner and John Abercrombie. Towner’s 12-string acoustic and classical guitars intertwine with Abercrombie’s acoustic, electric, 12-string electric, and mandolin guitars, sometimes colliding with intense, electrifying tension, and at other times, floating like a misty night breeze, creating a breathtaking ensemble. This profound sonic world, achieved only by two virtuosos with unparalleled technique, is an absolute must-listen. Highly recommended.
