Endresen has been a presence on the contemporary European circuit for over a decade, and made two fine albums for ECM at the opening of the 1990s, but it is only since her extensive tours and latter-day CDs with Bugge Wesseltoft that she has been noticed in Britain. This is all to the good, for she has a uniquely expressive, dark-toned alto voice, a fine gift for words (she spent many years in London and has an entirely idiomatic grasp of English) and a persuasive way … mehrwith a melody. Much of this new disc is taken up with the spontaneous painting of huge electronic soundscapes, her voice moving in and around nagging keyboard themes and banks of synthesised colour and rhythm. Elsewhere, there are nagging guitar loops that continually point up her telling vocals. A cutting-edge vocal album and one of the records of the year. --Keith Shadwick weniger
