"It would be easy to focus on the personally and sonically idiosyncratic aspects of this recording. Given that it’s just one string on a block of wood Max Eastley’s monochord has a spectacularly flexible sound bank; sometimes he sounds like a Vietnamese dan bau, and other times like a reportable manufacturing safety incident. Terry Day’s drumming manages to combine a respect for space with a brisk harshness that keeps things on point; rumor has it that he was not enamored of the drumkit that was supplied to him, and there’s certainly no kindness in his audible touch. And John Butcher’s saxophone playing is, as usual, adroit and immaculately controlled while inhabiting a realm of sounds that others imitate at their peril. But what keeps me coming back to this humble CD-r, which is part of the Confront label’s Core series of new recordings of improvised music, is the way this music feels simultaneously sudden and proportional. The three minds that imagined this music are not only responsive improvisers, but a formidable compositional collective." (Bill Meyer, Dusted)

"It's the switch that impresses most, that sudden motion connecting left to right, tone to gesture, sound to silence. Noone understands and puts into practice those significant irrepressibilities with more conviction than the venerable trio of Max Eastley, John Butcher and Terry Day. They translate the sublimated bacchanal of interactive histories into the tones, textures and sounds of conversation's flux." (Marc Medwin, Squidsear)

A complete and satisfying musical experience which, though very accessible will take an age to sink in..It's one of those pieces you can get lost in and keep coming back for more. Recorded in Huddersfield, a mill town I lived in back in the 60's.The days of the legend Frank Worthington,the high rise of the Lonsbrough and Ibbotson flats,Harold Wilson! Yet so much more to the place than that as this terrific album gives testimony to.There will always be something fresh in the air of that valley ! MIKE ANDERSON
