5 out of 5 stars slow, ecstatic burn.......2000-02-17

This music is a portal into the heart of ecstacy... the seething burn of the fiddles are barely tested by Tibbetts' cool moodwork, as a slow fire burns and burns... Tibbetts' previous Hannibal outing, "Cho," is cooler in tone, intimate yet with lots of space, a perfect foil for this one, which just keeps stoking the flames of yearning. No, it's not the old Steve Tibbetts... and yet, it is... looking for new connections. Steve: the stuff you're doing now (on Hannibal) is expansive - in the best sense of the word. Keep going please. The rest of you, click on the audio samples and jump in.

3 out of 5 stars Very unlike standard Tibbetts fare........1999-12-15

Long ago I used to listen to Steve Tibbetts albums. Now I listen to his CD's. But this particular duet is missing something. It's not bad. It's very restful and relaxing. Yet most Tibbetts music has a dynamic quality: some pieces wind you up, and some relax you. This entire album relaxes to the point where you may start to wonder: how are the musicians staying awake? But if you are a serious Tibbetts fan, it's worth having.

2 out of 5 stars Really, really dull. Tibbetts has released much better work........1999-11-19

Each "song" on this record sounds just like the previous one. And they don't sound that good. Now, I am a huge fan of Steve Tibbetts. YR, Safe Journey, Exploded View, these are all fanatastic recordings filled with beauty and wonder. However, this record is dull and boring. Not "good dull" like "Northern Song", which is a subtle, mysterious "ambient" record.

Bottom line: when ECM releases a lot of records by an artist, then fails to release a new record by that same artist, there is reason to worry. (This record was released by Hanibal Records, all previous Tibbetts records have been released on ECM, with the exception of last year's "Cho").

Does Manfred Eicher (the founder and head of ECM records) have good taste in music? In a word: YES. After all, its not the case that ECM is in this business because they make tons of cash...

In case you wonder why I say this, the most recent record from Stephan Micus (Beyond 11 Deserts) is similar to this record: not good, and not released by ECM records.
