On Opacus, the pianist plays liquid, pirouetting figures that Vandermark suspiciously hovers and mutters around, Argenteus is soft and lyrical, caressed by Haker Flaten's purring bass, and Wiik's melody lines are flouncily ornate over his steadily trilling left hand while Vandermark unfolds long, aching clarinet notes on the steadily intensifying Fumidus.
From The Guardian
Opacus: opaque; a surface without any lustre.
From Project Gutenberg
Secundum moenia locus erat frondosis populis opacus, vitibusque sponte natis, tenuis prope aqua defluebat, placide murmurans, ubi sedile et domus Democriti conspiciebatur.
