Teiko is amazing. The sweeping synths and symbols build a mechanical rhythm which entices us into a land of fantasy sounds. At about 4minutes into the song, the double bass and the Soprano saxophone come to the forfront. The percussion builts in voloume with these instruments. What i really like about this song, the album, and Jazz in genreal, is that everything magically ‘works’. Theres no ultimate climax, jazz is just progression from one hump to another. its not danceable, maybe head bobable, but
wash of synths and then offers a mechanical rhythm that is vaguely Asian in feeling
Piano, Synthesizer, Autoharp
Saxophone Double Bass
