An album released in 1987 by Belgian guitarist Philip Catherine, known for his acclaimed guitar technique and participation in Focus after Jan Akkerman's departure. The quintet features Belgian, Dutch, and Italian jazz musicians including Michel Herr (synth), Diederik Wissels (piano), Hein Van de Geyn (bass), and Aldo Romano (drums). Centered around Catherine's clean-toned guitar, the album showcases melancholic contemporary jazz that unfolds with a consistently calm tension. Herr's synthesizer playing adds an accent, enhancing the overall sense of clarity.
