An album released in 1980 by Between, a German avant-garde contemporary music collective led by Peter Michael Hamel, featuring Roberto Detree, Robert Eliscu, and Charlie Campbell. This organic ensemble work includes nine members, adding conga, tabla, and tambura players to the core group. Tracks like A1 feature soft conga beats and minimal acoustic piano phrases, over which dual oboes beautifully intertwine, while B2 presents a mysterious avant-garde jazz with an upright bass and guitar's minimal refrains accompanied by flute and clavinet floating gently above. This masterpiece blends Between's signature style with Middle Eastern-inspired drones, showcasing a borderless fusion of classical elegance and psychedelic sensibility in contemporary music.
