Then Markus takes us along with him, proposing questioning words: "Are we going ahead?" to answer his self (and the rest of us): "Yes, to a brilliant future".Raga Rag: This track opens with a deep and enormous melody, the piano as a falling water, the drums as a steps carefully taken and the trumpet looking ahead. Then the three musicians draw the map: "This is the way to go to the place you always has wanted to be to spend all your life with your loved ones". Starts the trumpet (Markus), promising an interesting and daring path. Then continues the piano (Rainer), showing the beauty of the journey. Al last finishes the drums (Fredy), building an magnificent vehicle.Schattenfrei: (Without Shade) Yes, we've arrived to a beautiful place, just sit back and relax open your heart and your mind to a whole new world.Innerfern: (Inside - far away) The musicians ask you a last question to think about: "Did you realized that this beautiful place have always been inside of you?, All you have to do is free your feelings and trust your self."En esta ocasión quiero hablar acerca de una hermosa aventura musical titulada CONTINUUM, dividida en seis episodios o piezas:Protagonistas: ------------------ Rainer Brüninghaus - Piano, Sintetizador Markus Stockhausen - Trompeta, Trompeta Piccolo, Flugelhorn Fredy Studer - BateríaStrahlensupr: (Trazos de rayos luminosos) Esta dinámica pieza nos despierta, el día ha comenzado y es urgente hacer cambios importantes en nuestras vidas, sólo escucha la música.Stille: (Silencia) Este hermoso track te lleva al perfecto lugar plácido de tus sueños más queridos, es temprano en la mañana, debes estar preparado para esperar lo inesperado ... quizás el amor de tu vida emergerá del lago o de las profundidades del bosque.Continuum: (Continuum [es Latín]) En este track Rainer toma ventaja de su experiencia al piano acústico, mientras Fredy pinta la escena cuidadosamente.

Todo lo que tienes que hacer es liberar tus sentimientos y confiar en ti mismo."

""Continuum" is one of the top albums of the '80s and a leading contender for best ECM release of that decade. The sound is extraordinary as is typical with many other Manfred Eicher produced ECM recordings. Bruninghaus' compositions are catchy and his keyboard work is exquisitely tasteful. The eccentric instrumentation is delicate and dream-like, taking the listener to a world beyond. Marcus Stockhausen's contribution provides rhythmic freedom and melodic expressivity. What stunning music but... where is Eberhard Weber?"
