Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Bill Laswell, the instrumental Brooklyn trio continued to defy conventional categorization with this genre-bending release. 'Cyclotron' violently juxtaposes dizzying, high-speed math rock riffing with slow, spacious dub reggae excursions. The band's formidable technical prowess and eclectic sonic shifts solidified their reputation as one of the most adventurous acts in the downtown avant-garde scene.
