Now I'm not going to say that drugs enhance this album but well...yeah...actually they might. Disregarding that first sentence this is a great album. I'm pretty sure most of it is improve, recorded on the spot at one of their "jams". That being said let me just mention something about listening to live music. It can be awe inspiring. For those who collect jazz albums some of the greatest material is of concert sets or live improvisations. It's kinda cool ya know, listening to something that might never again be repeated. It adds some mystic...and well this band had plenty of that going for them anyway. Listen and see for yourself.

For me this is a long time coming and the first time since I'd heard Faust's Rien that I believe I've encountered real magic. This is scarcely imaginable and inexorably human--primitive and strikingly modern. It took me two listens, about two years apart, to truly comprehend this "music" enough to realize how massive it is. Here, free jazz is merely a hazy reference point from an seemiingly infinite number of points of influence that coalesce together in an unbelievable way. These natural sounds: human voices, various instruments, and electronic devices occur in a manner that suggests structure and forward motion, but only a very fragile symetry. This must be heard and comprehended before one can truly grasp the significance of this artform.
