Most tracks were not only performed but also created by re-sound members, underlining the group's strong composer–performer identity. Guests Russell Goodwin and Nick Wilson each contribute a piece. The programme closes its circle with re-sound's reading of Keith Humble's In Five (module of Nunique), returning to the improvisatory language of the 1960s.
This is re-sound's fourth CD release.
