Ben van Gelder & Reinier Baas: Mokum in HI-FI
Funziona il contrasto tra la chitarra ruvida, giocata spesso sui toni bassi, di Baas (apprezzata new entry dell'ensemble Frontal di Simone Graziano e il sax etereo, quasi soave di Van Gelder. Le melodie, asse portante dell'intero lavoro, sono talvolta solo accennate altre volte sviluppate in maniera tutt'altro che lineare o lasciate in sospeso, il profilo spesso intimista dei brani è soggetto alle sottili invenzioni dei due. La chiusura con Aquarius (Revisited) è, naturalmente, anomala; Van Gelder e Baas abbandonano i rispettivi strumenti e creano un suggestivo bozzetto sonoro utilizzando un vecchio piano boogie woogie ed un enorme amplificatore.
