The Sargasso Sea is 1,107km wide and 3,200km long (700 statute miles wide and 2,000 statute miles long). It stretches from roughly 70 degrees west to 40 degrees west, and from 20 degrees north to 35 degrees north. Bermuda is near the western fringes of the sea. The ocean water in the Sargasso Sea is distinctive for its deep blue color and exceptional clarity, with underwater visibility of up to 61 m (200 ft).
History
The naming of the Sargasso Sea after the Sargassum seaweed traces back to the early 15th-century Portuguese explorations of the Azores Islands and of the large "volta do mar" (the North Atlantic gyre), around and west of the archipelago, where the seaweed was often present. However, the sea may have been known to earlier mariners, as a poem by the late 4th-century author Rufus Festus Avienus describes a portion of the Atlantic as being covered with seaweed, citing a now-lost account by the 5th-century BC CarthaginianHimilco the Navigator.
The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 3 stars stating "An uneven recording for many listeners and critics, Sargasso Sea deserves a second chance, not as an absolutely flawed, imperfect, or unbalanced effort. Like a tale of two cities, it stands as a unique project, perhaps deserving a more refined approach". The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars calling it "a winsome, diffident affair on which only the timbral variation of Towner's 12-string and piano figures sustains interest... it's less than representative of Abercrombie's real strengths".The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said "The alternately pensive and vibrant electric/acoustic interplay between these two master guitarists makes this a classic album of guitar duets".

All compositions by John Abercrombie except as indicated
Something's gone and something's over You put the pieces of yourself together Put them all into a suitcase Wait for the next man, wait for the next place You think there?s a better a place for you Where everything will be brand new And there you'll find yourself safe again You won't make the same mistakes again All your anger and misgivings Tie your shoes up, polish your mask But all your anger and misgivings Makes you tattered round the edges You think there?s a better a place for you Where everything will be brand new And there you'll find yourself safe again You won't make the same mistakes again Next time someone comes along Gets close enough to pull a loose thread All of you comes crashing down And there you are back where you started You think there?s a better a place for you Where everything will be brand new And there you'll find yourself safe again You won't make the same mistakes again
