Ozone Quartet are refreshing and play with an ethereal beauty;
Hollis Brown enchants on electric violin, while axeman extraordinaire
Graham Fry (replaced after this recording by Kenny Thompson) twists and turns and rocks like
John McLaughlin and
Steve Morse. It's not empty riffing for speed records, but soulful, well-placed sonic seasonings that carry you down the river of prog rock/fusion dreams. An essence of
King Crimson weaves itself throughout the disc as
Wayne Leechford excels on Chapman Stick. His Levinesque precision is a delight to meld with. Percussive, rich Stick ties each composition together.
Leechford explodes on "Dragonfly"! Francis Dyer provides complex time signature drumming and multi-atmospheric moments to each piece. One can hear distant lands of ancient times in his polyrhythmic colorings and collages of beat.
