Alongside the two A.D.D. Trio albums, this is Doran's greatest work. An absolutely stunning power trio session full of throbbing, tricky, tight grooves and Doran's characteristic balance between rock ecstasy and sublime textural passages. The level of playing and creativity here is jaw-dropping and frequently orgasmic. Tacuma (the well-known American bass guitarist) plays slash-and-burn rude funk with devastating virtuosity.
A lot of these pieces were adapted in the compositions of Christy Doran's New Bag, the fascinating vocal project that kicked into full swing shortly after this 1997 session. Doran's compositional style is among the most distinctive in the history of guitar music and I get endless pleasure from hearing variations on his core themes in different projects. - herkyjerky
