It’s a mesmerising quarter-of-an-hour journey, replete with jaw-dropping solos and intelligent changes of mood and tempo. Stark and moody, the music finds itself somewhere between the opaque beauty of early 4AD and the liquid jazz-funk fashioned by Bill Laswell.

Carn's originals ‘My Spirit’ and ‘Arise and Shine’ mix explosive vocals, ingenious Fender Rhodes lines, brassy fanfares and thundering free-drumming, the hard-grooving ‘Trance Dance’ showcases George Harper's muscular tenor sax, ‘Search for the New Land’ evokes the sound of a 1970s McCoy Tyner band but with hymnal vocals, and on ‘Blue In Green’ Jean Carn juggles tightly-packed bop-improv flurries and sonorous long sounds while Harper's flute glides around her. The weakness of One For Me is demonstrated by the closing track ‘Don't Look Back’ which has an ambiguous time feel in the extended introductory section and then sounds tentative in the blowing part.
