Greg Foat has enjoyed a long and fascinating career, in which the boundaries between jazz, rock, fusion and other less-categorisable musics are constantly dissolved. If you can tell a man by the company he keeps, how to categorise an artist equally at home working with jazz veteran Art Themen, young lions Moses Boyd and Binker Golding, indie mavens from the Bees to The Kooks, and proggers like Black Midi?

This latest release teams him with, typically, another left-field choice: 1980s underground ambient legend Gigi Massin. Into still, limpid pools of analogue synths, they drop cascades of notes from piano or Fender Rhodes, then stand back to watch the ripples widen then subside.

The ever-versatile Tom Herbert contributes some gently rasping fretless bass, Foat's fellow Isle Of Wight resident Siobhan Cosgrove drifts serenely past on flute, Moses Boyd emerges from the depths to tap discreetly at the drumkit in a tastefully jazzy manner, and the listener feels becalmed in a vaguely retro-sounding ocean of soft minor chords and gentle ostinatos. It's all immaculately executed: on ‘Viento Calido’ one awaits the entry of the whispery vocals of Sade or some other 1980s sophisticate, but they never arrive, and one is left to make one's own way homewards across the cooling sand.
