This is one slammin´group(...) And this kind of pleasing stylistic mix
raunchy out sections held together by dark-hued melodies and killer grooves-
is what makes this band explode.
Jason Bivins, Signal To Noise
______
This is stimulating music, both in challenging expectations and meeting
head-on the complicated process of creation-interpretation.

With intensity, force and determination, this quartet fromSweden are on a
mission of extreme possibilties(...) Always challenging, cutting, biting and

emotional content

Their brand of post-bop meets the freedom of Fire Music without indulging
in its excesses -(...), "Küchens writing keeps things on the threshold of
chaos, melodies constantly threatened by the creative soloing, rhythm often
on the verge of being overturned.
Francois Couture, All Music Guide
______
Martin Küchens many horns are a breath of fresh air, bass and drums are an
infectious driving force for much of the disc. Great disc, like anarchy
within the tradition of another tradition within tradition. One of my
favorite discs this year.

The discs big surprise is trumpet player Tomas Hallonsten
Orkester Journalen Sweden
______
The friendly fire is impressive(,,,) Küchen is obviously the mad genius
here. Switching between alto, tenor and soprano(yikes!) saxophones, he keeps
the proceedings lively and engaging and it will certainly be interesting to
see where this group goes from here.
Jason Ferguson, Orlando Weekly

The four members create a powerful communion, and at the same time each
player holds individual standards of very high class.
