Norwegian drummer/composer Thomas Stronen presents a revised edition of his acoustic collective Time Is A Blind Guide, now trimmed to quintet size. As on the group’s eponymously-titled and critically-lauded debut album there are excellent contributions from the string players – the quintet effectively contains both a string trio and a piano trio – and Manfred Eicher’s production brings out all the fine detail in the grain of the collective sound and the halo of its overtones.
