“Much of the totally improvised recording's feral appeal lies in its free and easy way with effects processors, to the extent that, on the up-tempo stomper "Sailing the Flat Earth," you can't always tell exactly who's doing what. Given that bassist Michael O' Brien and drummer Steve Roehm are occupied with providing velocity and punch enough to keep saxophonist Michael Ferrier's foamy buzz and trumpeter Kelly Rossum's abstract mute attack afloat, the track's sinister surf-spy riff is clearly the handiwork of some sneaky-pants engaged in pitch-shifted double duty. Creepy-crawly "Recliner" finds the band's machine work considerably less ghostly, with Rossum wailing in the upper register, then twiddling the delayed output until it resembles a chorus of Tyrannosaurus rexes.”
