Album Notes & Community Reviews
Compiling four distinct, hour-long improvisations recorded across different Australian venues, this multi-disc set encapsulates the trance-inducing alchemy of the cult trio. Dispensing entirely with traditional jazz structures, the group builds monolithic acoustic soundscapes through hyper-repetitive, slowly mutating minimalist patterns. It serves as a profound testament to their telepathic group dynamic and mastery of gradual tension.
