"This is a great cd.....Tom on the drumzzz- keepin the grooves really rockin -and TABES!!!! {craig taborn} the low end that Torn pulled out of the left hand of Tabes is really unreal**
All this material was done live - which is hard to believe when you listen to this over and over and over again like I have many countless nights-- Turn this one up !
Tim Berne has created the most original music of our time and needs to be recognized {when will DOWNBEAT feature this man?}
Tim puts these guys into their element right off the bat with the WRITING and THAT IS THAT! He knows too much for this world--science friction is also something to wear the grooves out of on the old turntable {one of TIMBO's other bands with MARC DUCRET ] and can write and sound like himself , which is the trick in music==== THE SHELL GAME is one of the best "jazz" concept albums of our time and Tim needs a key to NYCity for this one----DAVID TORN needs props too for making these guys sound so good {look for his release on ECM soon} the mixing and sound of the instruments puts you right in the studio with these 3 GIANTS of the DOWntown NYC scene-----
This music is beyond words--get one for your mom
OUT"
