‘On Airports and Ports Meijer made his grandest musical statement yet, incorporating jazz elements and even symphonic touches that brings to mind both what came before as well as early CTI releases from Freddie Hubbard and even the great Mark Isham.’
‘May very well be his best album yet’ (..) Airports and Ports is a triumph in sonic joy.’
‘The songs that make up these two 40-minute tracks would eventually go to create Hunter Complex’ masterful trilogy of Open Sea, Dead Calm and Zero Degrees, and Rain In Europe. That epic run of albums are explored here early in their creation, laid out in blistering live sets throughout The Netherlands. This is an intriguing exploration of the artist working out the art in real time. It’s a must for anyone that fell hard for Hunter Complex’ masterful music trilogy.’
‘ The whole of Open Sea is engaging, forward-thinking, and connects on a very visceral level. It’s odd and beautiful and sees a unique musical vision come to fruition. ‘
