5.0 out of 5 stars Take a bow, gentlemen!, July 4, 2000

Wow! Another awesome album from the men who gave us "Temporal Analogues of Paradise." The focus seems to be slightly more on Shawn Lane than on the their last album, but that's just fine with me. He is one of the coolest players I've ever heard (and I've heard a LOT). He uses a more mellow jazz-type tone, but he can tear it up with the best of them (Too bad his solo album "Powers of Ten" is out of print). Jeff Sipe also does an excellent job as usual on drums, though he doesn't get as many spotlights on this one. Jonas is as rock-steady as ever and the sound level on his bass is definitely higher than on the last one. As for the songs themselves, holy mac! Everything they do is fresh and original and cover a broad spectrum; from slow and moody to fast and furious. This is an amazing album and can be appreciated by young and old alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars music of the far off future, November 9, 1998

Three virtual unknowns in the comercial music world can play batter than anyone on earth. Jeff Sipe has the chops of a recently released mental patient. His speed and musicality across the drum set make him one of the best Ive ever heard. Shawn Lane must be seen in order to be believed. Lane has the ability to outplay anyone in his field, and Jonas Helbourg holds down the group with mood setting basslines and killer slap lines. Listen to track six to hear the sickest chops on the market. These are world class musicians.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good God! There's Hope Yet!!, August 13, 1999

My 1st listen just finished and I'm........These guys aren't illegal yet? What a blitzkrieg! And not just noise. Read about them in some guitar mag, got Abstract Logic, impressive too, but this is absolutely over the top wizardry. I won't rave on about this too long, but since I'm a DJ here, the quiet community will experience the majority of this tomorrow night. A new San Andreas fault may appear. I've ordered the other one as well. These guys need to be encouraged to persist in this sort of behaviour for a long time to come. Thanks,Jonas, Shawn & Jeff for a wonderful hour of very focused mayhem!
