Much like their previous album "Hand Made" this is a good, light Jazz record but not much more then that. I much prefer their debut "Doldinger".

"Eternal Spiral" has a spacey intro as the sound builds, it turns jazzy a minute in. The drums are relentless in this uptempo number. Keys then moog late. "Looking Thru" is the longest track at 8 minutes in length. A sax intro, but we don't get a melody until just before a minute. We get more of a beat before 4 minutes as drums become prominant with keys also joining in. This is better. "Zwischenspiel" is a short piano / acoustic guitar track.

"Rockport" has a good beat to it with sax and drums leading the way. "Tarantula" opens with dissonant sax until it changes to a melody after a minute. This is a catchy tune. "Ready For Take Off" features some smooth sax melodies that sound really good. This song and the previous one are my favourites. "Eloquence" opens with moog as drums and bass follow, then sax. Keys come in sounding great especially before 4 minutes. This my other top three song. "Things To Come" has a spacey intro before drums come pounding in. A full sound follows. The sax is dissonant late.

Good record but nothing more then that.
