Bass serves as the backdrop for un-restrained, non-lyrical, passionate vocals that are at times fiery. The cut continues with that duet for quite a while. Then after a while the vocals turn a bit more mainstream and become lyrical. This is still decidedly art music, though. It does feel more jazzy, though. As other instrumental join, and the vocals scream over top again, this gets into more avant-garde territory. Given where it was before, that says a lot. It turns back toward more mainstream vocals, but this time with the expanded arrangement. The track continues to evolve at times landing more adventurous.

Mellower and more mainstream, this has a jazz ballad vibe to it. It grows gradually and has a lot of classic elements while also feeling edgy and adventurous. It drops to a bass solo after the halfway mark. After a time the voice returns, this time spoken. Then singing returns further down the road, and the cut is reborn, gradually getting more instruments added to the mix.

Balladic as this gets underway, after the first vocal section the jazz stylings get more adventurous and exploratory. The piano great pretty crazed in a jam that takes over later during an extended instrumental section.

Piano and saxophone create sonic structures together in the early parts of this number. It drops to sporadic piano later for the entrance of the vocals. The song continues to evolve with both dramatic instrumental sections and a return of vocals in a more artsy way. This is another classy piece of adventurous jazz.

in some ways this isn’t a big change. An artsy vocal based movement is presented early. The jazz jam that follows post vocals is absolutely classic and on fire, though. It’s more traditional, but it’s also so powerful. I’d consider it one of the real standout sections of the album, really. There is a weird echoey, spacey movement complete with freaky vocals later. The cut continues to explore in artsy ways beyond that movement.

Percussion gets things underway here and holds it. This grows out to another classy jazz number with plenty of artsy stylings. The bass work gets crazed at times, and I love the saxophone on the track. The whole thing evolves and works through all kinds of different movements. It gets more challenging at times.

The lyrics to the first part of this are not in English. They are almost spoken a lot of the time. If anything, this song is among the weirdest stuff on the disc. It’s quite freeform and often somewhat sparse, yet noisy. We get a poetry reading in English later. That section ends the track.
