An album released in 1990 on the UK free-jazz label Leo Records by the Fahrt Art Trio, comprised of three Swiss musicians: Thomas Eckert (cl), Christian Battig (ds), and Christian Kuntner (b). As a group, they left behind only one other album, issued in 1988 on Ex Libris, a label run by a major Swiss bookstore, and none of the three members appear to have pursued especially high-profile careers thereafter. That said, this record is a real hidden gem—an imaginative and cleverly off-kilter work of experimental free improvisation, weaving together percussion, spoken word, and voice performance throughout. A thoroughly intriguing listen. Highly recommended.
