Review

The Way Things Work is a challenging freeform blast of intelligent noir beat poetry that plumbs the same depths of freakiness that Sun Ra and the MC5 did in days of yore. --Creem

Product Description

15 years from now this group will be seen as ahead of its time. Its a rare joy to hear seasoned professionals like this interact free form and exhibiting this level of clarity and coherence.

This record is the closest to jazz I've heard any rock/punk effort get, and their courageous risks generate fascinating and beautiful music for those who need something special to get excited.

Especially recommended for fans of "Out" jazz or those with a tolerance for beat poetry. I going to go out on a limb here and say I think both Ginsburg and Coltrane would have found this record, and this group's entire body of work, very interesting.
