THIS DIGITAL ALBUM INCLUDES BONUS ITEM: 8-pages booklet scan in PDF
Reviews:
"Two CDs worth of short, terrific small-ensemble improvisations. Lots of pleasant little surprises."
"Practically without vocals The Ex travel through a dreamworld in which surprises surprise each other, and where new and thus far hidden worlds lay themselves open.""
"32 miniatures. Some are frankly fascinating, others by all means amazing. But it never gets dull or smooth.""
Ex Records, 1995.
