Manfred Schoof / Rainer Brüninghaus - Shadows & Smiles (1989)


Previously on OPIUM HUM:
Rainer Brüninghaus - Freigeweht (1981)
Rainer Brüninghaus - Continuum (1983)

Abstract, atmospheric fusion from two German musicians: trumpeter Manfred Schoof and pianist Rainer Brüninghaus. Obviously, piano and trumpet are front and center, against a backdrop of gauzy synth and crystalline percussion. Very ECM-esque.

Track listing:
1. Smiles
2. Shadows
3. Sequence
4. Fireside
5. Ingredience of the Blues
6. Suggestion

Time will run back
