The album kicks off with a series of notes from the piano and then a quick run
and squall from the saxophonist introduces the aptly titled 'Brawls and
Squabbles'. After the explosive start, the two carry on in a dynamic
choreograph of energetic enjoinders and punctuating phrases. The aforementioned
'Arhtym Songy' follows and is captivating as the two get into an ever
accelerating centrifuge of melodic ideas. The third track 'Why Don't You'
takes the concise energy of the first track with the precision of the second
and fuses it into an fascinating swirl of sound. The longest track, 'Nexus',
begins with a jaunty be-bop influenced sax riff that intersects with some
choice clipped chordal accompaniment before unrolling into a dynamic dialog
comprised of syncopated phrases and extemporaneous outpourings, while
'Metamorphose einer Karelle' is a lovely, dark hued ballad.
