The Cd dif\u00adfers also in the design of the cover. In our review, the cover of the vinyl album is repro\u00addu\u00adced. The album is very solid in terms of dura\u00adti\u00adon: more than eigh\u00adty minu\u00adtes of sound, only seven tracks all tog\u00ade\u00adther. The lon\u00adgest, <strong><em>Tran\u00ade\u00ading In<\/em><\/strong> (almost nine\u00adteen minu\u00adtes of sound), took the who\u00adle side of one of the vinyl records. But the point, of cour\u00adse, is not the length, but the qua\u00adli\u00adty of the&nbsp;music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; color: #99ccff;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I have never heard Muri\u00adel Gross\u00admann have so much expres\u00adsi\u00adon and inspi\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon in her play\u00ading on both her instru\u00adments, on the sopra\u00adno saxo\u00adpho\u00adne (as in the start\u00ading pie\u00adce of <strong><em>Gol\u00adden Rule<\/em><\/strong>), and on the tenor saxo\u00adpho\u00adne (as in the next <strong><em>Core<\/em><\/strong>). Muriel\u2019s long, unu\u00adsual\u00adly emo\u00adtio\u00adnal impro\u00advi\u00adsa\u00adti\u00adons are fol\u00adlo\u00adwed by <em>Milo\u00adj\u00adko\u00advic<\/em>\u2019s ans\u00adwe\u00adring and ela\u00adbo\u00adra\u00adting gui\u00adtar solo, then to give way to a new, equal\u00adly expres\u00adsi\u00adve and tech\u00adni\u00adcal\u00adly diver\u00adse saxo\u00adpho\u00adne solo. Muri\u00adel plays in this album as if it is the last time in her life! All this action takes place against the back\u00adground of fle\u00adxi\u00adble poly\u00adrhyth\u00admic con\u00ads\u00adtruc\u00adtions crea\u00adted by the rhythm group (in my opi\u00adni\u00adon, this album beca\u00adme the most striking per\u00adfor\u00admance for <em>Sta\u00admen\u00adko\u00advic<\/em>).

And from the point of view of gui\u00adtar work, the top of <em>Milo\u00adj\u00adko\u00advic<\/em>, for my tas\u00adte, is in the com\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adti\u00adon <strong><em>Tra\u00adne<\/em><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: calibri; font-size: 12pt; color: #99ccff;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; It is worth remem\u00adbe\u00adring, that Muri\u00adel con\u00adsiders as one of her main tea\u00adchers, the famous Ger\u00adman free jazz pia\u00adnist Joa\u00adchim K\u00fchn.

It is not by chan\u00adce that one of the pie\u00adces of Gross\u00admann in this album is named after him, and the name of the other is the neo\u00adlo\u00adgism of Tran\u00ade\u00ading In (lite\u00adral\u00adly: \u201cInha\u00adling\u201d).
