I must honestly admit that the way things turned out to be was something I had least expected. After two wonderful albums by Marcin Jarmulski, the project [haven] returs with yet another release, which definitely drifts away from what many fans got accustomed to. The material we get in exchange eludes straightforward definitions using traditional music categories; it may only be characterised as a cosmic mixture of elements. And the very word ‘cosmic’ is the key which is needed for the proper reception of the music on this album. A vision of a space shuttle emerges, and on its board, to the accompaniment of hundreds of indicators and switches, a journey is taken to the remote stars and the strangest of worlds.
However fascinating the description may seem to be, for many (and me as well) the stylistic leap the artist has made, may be one of the toughest nut to crack. The album is definitely an experimental one; and despite the fact that each and every single piece shares some characteristic features with the rest, the whole album lacks cohesion. It is possible that it was an intentional move aiming at creating separate ‘mini-soundtrack’ for the particular stages of the cosmic trip - yet, I am not the one to buy it. At the same time I do not want to definitely state that this album is a complete misunderstanding. It has its moments (track ‘Seven’ >> A2982 Part I), but there are too few of them to give this album a higher mark than the one which was given.
The experimental flavour is completed by the album’s cover; it proves that, at some stage, the experiment got out of its maker’s hands.
