Musically, like I posted in the subject, it definitely shares a lot in common with the jazz-rock/fusion of Mahavishnu Orchestra and prog styling of the 70's King Crimson, as Jeff is noted as being quite a big fan.
 
It's really one of the best instrumental/jazz-fusion albums I've heard in a few years, and the featured use of Cello especially, has it stand out in a lot ways to me.
