"It's as if the musicians' separate sounds entwine around each other, with Butcher's crying, embracing horn, Edwards' luxuriant bass and the growing leaves of Sanders' evergreen drums."
MORNING STAR - Chris Searle.

"Dense and imaginative improvisations that hurtle from one incident to the next at top speed with a cavalier disregard for the possibility of running out of ideas. Musical moments spontaneously appear, briefly coalesce and swiftly dissipate barely before they've had time to register. Check how Edwards upper register bass ping elicits a bobbing call from Butcher and cymbal ting from Sanders, or how, at the opening of the 33-minute "Curling Vine”, Edward's thick arco drone summons a strange avian trill from the saxophone.
Actually, Butcher is on astonishing form throughout, still somehow finding ways of calling forth new and surprising sounds from the sax. Masters at work."
