Hi Stuart,

I am listening to it for the first time (track 4 playing now) and liking it a lot. Like their first excellent album (Meltemi) the music is powerful and flows without hesitation. You get the feeling that the musicians know clearly what they want and the 'search' element is not there.

Regards,
Haim

Stuart,

I think that Meltemi is a very good start and that Near Gale is definitely worth having too. You can sample them here:

I struggle with this album - Bollani's playing seems a bit manic. I shall persevere....
