Carmen Gomes, Folker Tettero, Peter Bjørnild and Bert Kamsteeg are long past the 10.000 hours and this is where it gets interesting. As an example take Bert Kamsteeg's playing on the introduction of ''Until you are ready'', he fills up the space left for him with only the bass drum leaving the rest of the kit alone. Or the carefully chosen notes and amount of effect Folker Tettero use in his replies on Holding Back the years, almost suggesting more than playing. Or the fills Peter Bjørnild plays in his line on ''Don't miss you", never in the way of the melody or the solo, but still firmly taking up the space, when it is available.

And last but not least, the leader of the band Carmen Gomes, whose phrasing and control of emotion has reached complete mastery. Every word and melodic phrase seems to appear from years of soul searching and life experience. Carmen Gomes knows just how much or little is needed to convey the right amount of feeling for a particular song. Although sometimes the amount of feeling and emotion that is needed is almost too much for Carmen herself. We had to call for break after the Little Girl Blue take because Carmen was in tears and overcome with emotions. You can hear the voice starting to break up towards the end of the song.
