COMMENTS AND REVIEWS
------------------------------------------------
"A finely detailed and expressive group that is both elegant and eloquent. All aspects of sound production are scrutinized and employed as valid musical material which in turn gives an immersive and complete listening experience." - John Russell

"This meet-up recorded in London is something of a textural boxing match. However, the trio involved are playing an analogue synthesizer (Daniel Kordik), a digital synthesizer (Ken Ikeda) and a trombone (Edward Lucas), so the results are consistently intriguing. More often than expected, the synths and trombone mesh indiscernibly into one creaking atonal lattice. The opening track is the oddest and noisiest of the lot, with both synths aggressively carving out some sharper frequencies while the trombone can do little but hurl blunt parps into the battleground. The rest of the release settles into a more peaceful mode, resembling murmured scheming between home appliances."
