Lighthouse, featuring guitarist Mark Wingfield, touch guitarist Markus Reuter and drummer Asaf Sirkis, represents a true paradigm shift in what improvised music can be. This isn't jazz, though it's improvisational spontaneity suggests at least a tenuous link. It isn't rock - or, more appropriately, progressive rock - though it certainly is, by definition, progressive in it's futuristic stance. Nor is it free improv, despite it's overall lack of planning. Instead, the bold and utterly fresh Lighthouse represents nothing less than a brand new methodology and a completely unheard-of way of doing things, it's sense of progression and imagination miraculously drawn from the ether, with no clear precedent or preconception.
