"Eberhard Weber's first record remains his most well-known and influential. An ambitious work of what might be called symphonic jazz, that helped to define the ECM sound -- picturesque, romantic, at times rhythmically involved, at others minimalistic and harmonically abstruse. Weber at various points combines strings, choir, synthesizer, and small jazz ensemble. It can bring to mind some of the prog rock and fusion of the era, although Weber's vision is a good deal more idiosyncratic. There are only four tracks. First is the atmospheric, stage-setting "More Colours," followed by the title track, during which pianist Rainer Brüninghaus and drummer Ralf Hübner become active. Next is "An Evening With Vincent Van Ritz," featuring a flügelhorn solo by Ack van Rooyen. Finally, there's the nearly 20-minute "No Motion Picture", based on a fast, repetitive bass riff that keeps re-emerging. Weber's aesthetic played a significant role in the creative music of the '70s." (David L. Adler, Allmusic; 4,5 uit 5 sterren)
