Marilyn Crispell alone at the piano, live at the Victoriaville festival on 2 October 1987: dense, Taylor-inspired clusters and open lyrical passages, with a Coltrane piece. The CD reissue of the 1988 LP adds Threads in the Ozone.

Victo 40th Anniversary Super Sale. Labyrinths is a solo album by American jazz pianist Marilyn Crispell which was recorded live at the 1987 edition of the Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville and released on the Canadian Victo label. The CD edition adds a bonus track. In his review for AllMusic, Stephen Cook states "Labyrinths finds avant garde jazz pianist Marilyn Crispell balancing Cecil Taylor's cataclysmic and staunchly free piano style with her own melodic and spacious take on free improvisation.” The Penguin Guide to Jazz says that "What she creates here is logically formed, expressively coherent and quietly perfect. This is one or her best records of the '80s and certainly one of the best of the solo recordings.”
