The sax / bass / drums lineup might suggest a jazz trio, but this transatlantic collaboration attempts a non-idiomatic style of improvisation. A doomy, ambiguous tonality maintains a noirish mood, with the seven tracks feeling like repeated examinations into the same trough of disquiet and existential dread. The closest comparison might be the more downtempo side of John Zorn's Painkiller.

But instead it sounded like a second rate straight to cable movie soundtrack from the early 80’s. Actually that would be cool if it were done well. But it wasn’t. Don’t trust me? Find out here:
