"The innovative Norwegian guitarist Terje Rypdal and the equally inventive Czech bassist Miroslav Vitous have been collaborating at least since their initial recorded encounter on ECM in 1978. Uniting as a trio with the formidable Indian percussionist Trilok Gurtu, this triumvirate of virtuosos give a master class in intuitive interaction, countering each other's musical moves with telepathic ease. Brilliantly entwining electric and acoustic instrumental textures, the trio displays an expansive collective imagination that skillfully incorporates jazz, rock and world music. Rypdal's soaring lines, Vitous's lyrical excursions and Trilok's entrancing work on both the conventional drum kit and traditional percussion mesh to form an ingenious and organic new music. This is creative fusion at its best. **Steve Futterman**".
