Travels with Graham

(4 out of 5 stars)
"Quite a ride,through a strange Wagnerian introduction to a dense otherworld jungle. Different from his previous "Tones for the 21'st Century." This ones more concrete and on the edge. Things get quite interesting in the middle passage , slowing down with "Variation No.2" , a lovely drifting piece with great cornet . On to "Red Zones" futuristic swamp stasis to "Telluride" and its interstellar drum/base/cornet mix. "Inn a Most" creates an exotic Middle East destination full of delay and qawalli samples and then another beautifull ballad before "Climates" sheets of planetary rain over bubbling geysers and into the jungle. Very cimematic ,lasting landscapes and while a bit uneven it makes my keeper pile."
