As a result, Faces in Reflection is characterized by a wide variety of tonal hues. The journey moves from the explosive The Opening on to the tender- tinged Capricorn, which Duke had snatched from the Cannonball Adderley repertoire. Adderley had been the second major player he had worked with during that early period; Frank Zappa was the first. Two impressionistic solo intermezzi segue into the funky fusion escapade Psychosomatic Dung, with superb interplay between drummer Ndugu and bassist John Heard. The title piece's secretive synth lines are the moments of calm before Duke's passionate love affair with Brazil on the B side. The most surprising excursion on this side is the vibrant and rhythmically intricate adaptation of Milton Nascimentos' Maria Três Filhos, counterbalanced by the synth laboratory of North Beach.
