There are four pieces here, each of which is an exercise in polytonal inquiry or microtonal extrapolation. These four exercises are sound-on-sound explorations that come through a brief series of melodic ideas and are turned inside out to reflect the timbral essence of each note being played to construct them. McPhee draws many of these exercises in these pieces back to a blues or groove framework, evoking ghosts of heroes long since passed and seldom acknowledged by the rest of this hyper-literate mob.

As palavras acima já dão uma idéia da obra. Recomendo, sinceramente, este álbum para poucos. Dauník Lazro, Evan Parker e Joe McPhee produzem um desconcerto duro aos "ouvidos ocidentais" não acostumados com microtons. Recomendo para fãs de Anthony Braxton, Kaoru Abe, Peter Brötzmann e afins.

Joe McPhee: soprano & alto sax, pocket trumpet, alto clarinet
Evan Parker: tenor & soprano sax
Dauník Lazro: alto & baritone saxophone

1. The Emmet's Inch
