"This one here sounds like an evil super-distillation of everything you ever liked about challenging music but you got it chained to the heater of your one-bedroomed apartment in order to keep it hidden from the eyes of the world" (Lowdown '59)

"..revel in the joys of psychedelic repetition and throw in some tasty guitar, analogue and digital synthesisers, trombones, live samples and vocals into the frothy mix."
(The Crack Jan 2008)

"..... a full-bodied, ever-twisting and aggressive track riding atop an infectious melodic spine with constant tempo variations that explode forth in to a giddying, psychedelic freak-jazz monster that will leave you baffled, confused and very satisfied. The hypnotic and warped ethnic melodic interlude of ‘I Saw It In The Sky’ makes way for the sub-aqua, proto Jazz-Jungle of ‘Battle Of The Odd’s’ whilst the lengthy ‘Rub Attractor/My Elephant’ is a whimsical yet thoroughly dark take on space-jazz influenced dub-step. Sonic space-debris float swiftly past dark reverberating bass and stripped down uptempo Jazz motifs, before settling into a dark infectious groove on top of which sits a gorgeous yet sullen smokey Jazz melody, straight out of one of HiM’s most contemplative Jazz-noir tracks. This track is a meandering epic and really provides a disorientating glimpse at what post-Jazz is capable of. The final track, ‘This Headphone Mix’ is a unique squat-pop, freak-jazz stomper. Sounding a bit weird on initial listens, it eventually shines through with its well-arranged vocals, throbbing melodic core and busy percussion; elements which make it a really infectious piece of music that will have you nodding your head like a nu-rave hippie.
"... The best thing about this release is that listeners no longer have to turn to America (specifically Chicago) for their experimental, afro laced, electric-jazz fusion sounds as this a UK collective on a UK label! Much respect. (Experimusic)
