it is hard to know what else there is to say about keijo and his free players. over the past two years, the wise sage of finland his band of merrymen have unleashed a discography as impressive as it is imposing. as gayle brogan of the unimitable boa melody bar said (about a previous release), "keijo may be incredibly prolific but each release really is essential." this is certainly the case with "passing on." this is an album full of reverberating space. acoustic guitar improvisations with nothing to hide, clattered by chromatic percussion split the stars. methodic drones with flickering wind instruments keep everything grounded. "passing on" is everything you've come to expect from keijo and is nothing short of brilliant. 100 copies
