This album has had a huge influence on me as a musician/composer. It's really hard to explain why (especially in English, which is not my first language), but this album moves me in ways very few instrumental albums do.
Two tracks particularly stand out for me: "Seven Minute Mind" and the masterfully incredible and amazing "In Stitches". This track is a 14-minutes long build-up that plays with tension and resolution, but in a way that very few people can sustain. It becomes physical, it's almost cringy, it's a hard listen, but so rewarding, kind of like "Providence" by King Crimson.
