The emotional heat created by the trio is lowered on three tracks—the melancholic "Clouds,"
elegiac "Farewell" and piano-only "A Norsk Tale,"
which is inspired not by Hollywood but by Edvard Greig's Lyric Pieces for solo piano.
But most of the time, the music is dramatic and powerfully built, while carefully avoiding cheap melodrama or bombast.
"J.J." and "The Legentis Script" are positively anthemic, "Then There Were Four" reminiscent of the Esbjörn Svensson Trio at its best,
and "Wonder Why" rocks out in 7/8 time.
The group is augmented on four of the album's nine tracks. Heidi Vogel's wordless vocals add further atmosphere to
"J.J." and "The Legentis Script," on the second of which she is joined by French hornist Jim Rattigan and flautist Keith Thompson.
Rattigan is also heard on "Hymn Two," and Thompson on "Crying Wolf." The three guests add color, but are not central to the plot.
