5.0 out of 5 stars One of My Favorites, February 14, 2011

I have recently begun seriously listening to instrumental music of all genres and have rarely found much interest in the jazz-fusion arena. however, i believe this album deserves its own genre. set apart from the other squad works, it ups the harsh and heavy, outstanding drumming and soaring yet gritty guitar throughout held down by a bassist who isn't overly independent. although the remainder of the album does not quite fall in line with the onslaught of the opener, numena, my favorite track, this probably a good thing as an intensity level that continuously stratospheric could prove fatal. at times even circus like, it manages to morph into beautfil melodies intermingling with the punch heavy riffing. kollman solidifies his position as a modern guitar virtuoso and am hopeful that their next effort will continue in the light of acid test

If you mixed the DNA of the classic Jimi Hendrix trio with the DNA of classic old school Frank Zappa and drop the vocals you might be able to imagine the kind of weird, wonderful stuff going on with this CD. These guys all play their asses off. I hate to try and put a title on the type of music displayed here because its, rock, jazzy, instrumental, heavy, progressive...you really need to just listen and let the music do the talking for itself. I played this in my car for a week straight and never once got bored or sick of it. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.
