"Rypdal's new album is a series of sonic excursions ranging from the expressionist to the impressionist and with few concessions to conformity. Rypdal's guitar and Palle Mikkelborg's trumpet are well-matched with Manfred Eicher's typically superb production putting it all in focus." Record World
"On four- and six-string electric bass, Sveinung Hovenso combines a gorgeous tone, melodic lines, and a rich harmonic sensibility. Trumpeter Palle Mikkelborg's debt to the effects-heavy Miles Davis is a key component of Waves. An by this point Rypdal seems less like a guitarist playing notes than a musician painting with sound. Each of the six songs on Waves has its own character, and the album is full of surprises... On the poignant ballad 'Karusell,' Mikkelborg plays so beautifully it's no wonder Rypdal left all the soloing to his bandmate... Strong compositions and inspired playing make Waves a pleasure from beginning to end." - Jeff Wilson, The Absolute Sound, Rated 5/5 Music, 4/5 Sonics
