This was featured on the 1st. edition of “obscure sound” guidebook. This album was released in 1977 by a jazz-rock group led by Norwegian drummer Jon Christensen, who also plays on a lot of ECM and Bjorn J:son Lindh's albums, and featuring Jon Eberson (g), Hakon Graf (key), and Sveinung Hovensjo (b). Christensen is known for his spacey and delicate drumming with a sense of openness, but this album shows a more rock-oriented approach. It has a cool and refreshing feel similar to that of the Pat Metheny family, including Pedro Aznar and Mark Egan, and has a great body sonic effect. Highly recommended.
