"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."
