Quadrant’s first album and the first album in which Eric van der Westen displays his love for African Jazz. Beautiful melancholy tunes full of space and sphere. This was a starting point for many musicians in Holland to work with the same songlike format. Loneliness, drama, hope and love would be themes that fit the music and the love for the African continent. Still a very strong album and loved by many people.
