==Reception==
The [[Allmusic]] review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars stating "''Lontano'' showcases a band confident enough after playing for five years to find real space for free improvisation... ''Lontano'' is at once the distillation of 40 years of European vanguard jazz history, and at once the key in the door of the lock where it enters the world not as a music categorized by its instrumentation or personnel, but as music itself; where harmonics, space, and the improvisational language expressed in it transcends genre and classification. This band is simply astonishing, and ''Lontano'' is their most adventurous and cohesive recording yet".<ref name="Allmusic">Jurek, T.
