This is a masterpiece duo album released in 1986 by the Bulgarian guitarist Laszlo Spiro and Swiss drummer Reto Giacopuzzi, as featured in the first edition of the guidebook "obscure sound". The album features guest appearances by pianist Art Lande, known for his outstanding works on ECM, as well as Dusan Prusak and Walter Hoffmann. The intense and spiritual play of Laszlo Spiro and Reto Giacopuzzi is highlighted throughout the album, creating a deep contemporary jazz experience. Tracks like A1, with its profound sound of guitar synthesizer enhanced by long reverb, and B2, which layers avant-garde interplay over a laid-back 4-beat rhythm, showcase the duo's meticulous and tension-filled performance, making this album a standout in the realm of deep contemporary jazz. Highly recommended.
