The third collaboration between the krautrock legend Roedelius - once of Cluster and Harmonia - and the American composer Tim Story features the kind of instrumental music that tends to be called "ambient" for want of a better name, yet this isn't music that sits there in the background as you get on with your life. This is music that makes you stop and listen. Although Roedelius established his reputation as an electronic pioneer, his role here is to play piano while Story weaves a bed of electronic sound around him. Roedelius spent 10 days on the project, apparently, while Story then devoted five months to making everything fit together. It was worth the effort, as the results can be stunning - as when the piano weaves in and out of the whirring rhythms of Downrivers, the wobbly synth of Serpentining or the heroically subtle backing of the title track.
