Ketil Bjørnstad, David Darling, Terje Rypdal, & Jon Christensen - The Sea (1995) + The Sea II (1998)


Two albums of haunting, dynamic pieces for piano, guitar, cello, and percussion. Bjørnstad's fragile, stately piano themes serve as a base over which Rypdal's guitar soars and Darling's cello weeps, as Christensen (aka the drummer on almost every major ECM release) maintains a nervous tension throughout.

Track listing:
-The Sea-
Twelve tracks, Roman numerals I through XII
-The Sea II-
1. Laila
2. Outward Bound
3. Brand
4. The Mother
5. Song for a Planet
6. Consequences
7. Agnes
8. Mime
9. December
10. South

      I used sendspace when I first started this blog, this is an older post. I've since learned how sucky sendspace is.

    If you have never renewed these links and they are still working after 3 years then sendspace is not as sucky as many others one runs into. I still cant bear the loss of that Sun Ra site because almost everything on it was Rapidshare.... what was it "adventureEquation" i think,... and even before RapidShare died it was slower and more of a pain than sendspace.

    part two is still there and it's now 2020. So sendspace can't be that bad after all, can it?

      Done, enjoy! For future reference, I don't publish re-up requests until I've fulfilled them -- otherwise I'll forget to do it -- so if you comment asking for a re-up and don't see it published yet, that's why.
