Exquisite Exploration of East/West Sounds
21 Jun 1999
Format:Audio CD
This is one of the gems of the ECM catalog, and a must own for any fan of Oregon, Walcott's other work, or the incredible band on this CD: John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, and Jack DeJohnette. Walcott's sitar and Abercrombie's fluid, singing guitar dance and exchange ideas over one of the greatest rhythm sections in jazz. This isn't an airy fairy "world beat" record -- it's tight, lyrical, reflective music from four masters at the peak of their careers. It's a shame the late Walcott didn't record three more albums with this band. "Margueritte" and the title track are two of the most poignant melodies I know. Any fan of honest, exploratory, moody jazz should check this out.

Transcendant night-time music.
29 Oct 1999
Format:Audio CD
Simply put, each time this disc plays, it reveals something new to the listener. The meditative mood is ripped by the slicing of Abercrombie's guitar on Scimitar, but other than that, one floats through the atmosphere, somewhere between Manhattan and the Himalayan foothills, wrapped in the warm tones of this veteran group.

good album but took time to like it as a whole
14 Oct 2005
Format:Audio CD
i heard song #2 "Prancing" on Walcotts compilation called "Works" and i loved it so much i had to get this album, But in 94 it wasnt availible in the USA (took 6 months to get it from Japan). Was it worth it? yes
At first i was sad that the whole album wasnt the same fast and minimal Drum and Bass groove I was expecting (like prancing), but later i started really enjoying the Gateway trios work mixed with Walcotts Eastern percussion/sitar. Sadly Collin died in 84 and how i wish his work could have continued.
i recomend this album over the others for its groove. I tried Codona, it was not to my liking at all. Its the combo of Gateways groove (Dejohnette, Holland and Abercrombie) and walcotts eastern contribution that made this album so amazing to me. You should probably check out the "Gateway" albums if you end up loving this album
