  • Exceptional Audio Quality

    4 out of 5 stars
    bowbsmas24 September 2025United States🇺🇸

    Incredible find! The audio quality is fantastic from a flat, silent, and flawless pressing, apart from the sharp disc edges. Absolutely wonderful! Truly exceptional!

  • Manfred's Oslo Masterpiece

    5 out of 5 stars
    Agesdinjosp24 May 2025United States🇺🇸

    I'll echo the praise. Four of the finest musicians on ECM's lineup during that era, each at their peak. With so many outstanding releases from Oslo around that time, it's tough to choose just one, but you'd definitely be happy with this as a showcase of Manfred at his finest.

  • Audio Quality Impressive

    5 out of 5 stars
    Coqnozruv6214 February 2025United States🇺🇸

    The audio quality of this press is absolutely amazing, super clear and full of energy - every instrument sounds distinct and full of detail. I'm blown away, thanks pops!

  • ECM's Moody Masterpiece

    5 out of 5 stars
    ZujYcpYgoV20 November 2024United States🇺🇸

    Here's a recording that's pure ECM, ideal for those gloomy, rainy days. It's got that contemplative, moody vibe. A supergroup that's all about the music, no egos here.

  • Desert Island Essential

    5 out of 5 stars
    xuqvgsc23 September 2024United States🇺🇸

    If stranded on a desert island, this is my go-to album. No doubt about it. Need five more words? Ask away.
