Description

Ablution from Sweden came to be after combining bassist John Gustafson and keyboard player Peter Robinson (later in Brand X) from the heavy prog act Quatermass with ex-members of Baltik: Bjorn J:Son Lindh on flutes, drummer Ola Brunkert and guitarist Janne Schaffer (best known as a session guitarist for Abba). Joining them on additional percussions was now deceased Malando Gassama and Barry de Souza on the trumpet. You know the line-up is real professionals. The instrumental work is tremendous through the whole album. While the compositions might not be anything groundbreaking and mindblowing this album is still a very nice listen because the band sounds fantastic. The record is totally instrumental and overall this is a very consistent package of jazzy fusion prog rock. Some complex avant-prog influences can be found as well and they bring some diversity to the material.
