Примечание:	Apart from David Sanborn, probably no living saxophonist has a more instantly recognizable voice than Jan Garbarek; actually, given the fact that Sanborn's sound is so widely copied, Garbarek's may be easier to identify in a blindfold test. This album in particular puts that sound front and center. Garbarek's the show; he composed all of the music, and is essentially the only soloist. The music (much of which was composed as soundtrack material for film or video) is quintessential Garbarek, full of the world music influences that have characterized his work since the 1970s. Garbarek's resonant, carefully articulated tenor and soprano tone suits the spacious, minor/modal themes. He's as much a singer as instrumentalist. Garbarek also plays digital synthesizers, mostly as string or flute pads underneath the folkish melodies. The record's most notable secondary player is Garbarek's ECM labelmate, the bassist Eberhard Weber, whose lyric sensibility is a virtual mirror of Garbarek's. This is quiet, contemplative music for the most part -- attractive, but not superficially pretty. Its grooves are less celebratory than melancholic. There's an intensity here borne of deep concentration and commitment to beauty. Garbarek has come a long way since his early days as a quasi-free jazz experimentalist. This music is not jazz, nor is it experimental. But it is compelling in its way, representative of a first-rate creative musician, beyond category. -- Chris Kelsey (AMG)

Громадное спасибо!!! Я очень давно ищу этот диск! Очень клевый альбом, красивый, если вообще можно применить такое слово к творчеству Гарбарека.
Вот это как раз тот случай. Fusion на стыке с New Age, a 1-я (Red Wind), да и 2-я, вообще в лучших традициях Smooth. Конечно же, не обошлось и здесь без коронного завывания на 12 минут в последней композиции "Evening Land", но как без этого, к тому же она гораздо менее заунывная, чем могла бы быть . А в целом - лучший диск Гарбарека (ИМХО), но по стилю (опять же только ИМХО) - чистейший World, Nature и пр. - New Age, одним словом. НЕ джаз.
Еще раз, спасибо!

P.S. Ну да, написано же в его комментариях:
