This is the third (and final) album included in the new box set from Peter Banks titled "The Self-Contained Trilogy." This instrumental album is classy. I've reviewed it both as an individual disc and as part of that box set, using this same review. Like the other discs in the trilogy, this one uses sound bites, but probably not to the same degree as the other two did. This one leans more toward the mellow and fusion end of the spectrum perhaps. It's also the shortest of the three, but that's not a bad thing. All in all, this is a solid instrumental album that stands as a lasting tribute to Banks' art.

Coming out of the previous one, the music elements start to grow outward with a bit of a King Crimson turned funky approach. Still, it's rather understated in a lot of ways. This gets pretty fusion like as it continues. The intensity really builds, and there is some exceptional guitar work here.

Coming out of the previous number, this has a killer funky groove to it. It's another killer fusion jam. There is a surf-guitar section as it approaches the mid-track point. It works back out to more of the powered up fusion sounds. It eventually drops back down for a bit of a noisy closing bit.

This comes in mellower and quite intricate and pretty. It grows outward by building upon that musical concept.

Here we have a killer rocking tune. This has some of that surf sound in the mix, too. It's a cool number with good energy and classy jamming. It definitely has a retro texture to it in a lot of ways.

Textural sounds bring this into being, and it gradually rises from there.
