Strange, dark, ominous, at times chaotic but compelling listening. Not what I expected from this instrument duo – there are some didjeridu and bagpipe effects that I cannot explain.

The sonic collisions are impressive, and I’m a sucker for the sound of an abused clarinet, no matter what size. These guys play well off each other, complimenting the other’s ideas and working hard to make each piece that much better.

When used, the drone machines supply a deep bass rumbling which acts as an aural backdrop against which Thollem and Arrington add their playing…a little bit like artists onto a canvas…quite an enjoyable album…the sounds that Arrington… teased from his bass clarinet quite extraordinary.
