ever get just a glimpse of the horizon
and sense the entire planet spinning round? Track 1 fades in like an album fading out, track 2 winds up like a jack that stays in the box, 3 raises the glittering curtains to reveal a stage-set designed by Joseph Cornell, 4 fades the lights till only dim shadows remain, 5 provides glimpses of dancers - and drummers - in those shadows, 6 raises the lights to show you that the stage has become an ocean beach and 7 drifts a fog bank in. 8 is the sound of the ice clinking in your empty high-ball glass, inviting you to refill and put the disc on repeat, 9 lets you know you did the right thing and 10 settles you back into that easy chair to drift though a second round.
