Perscommentaren
"their music has a subdued, gently exploratory quality, which sounds like a three-way conversation held from comfortable chairs." (...) "'Hidden Word' takes things closer to something unique. Speed emits long, low notes, almost heading into the range of a baritone saxophone. Drums start out at the edge of perceptibility, gradually building up to a tribal thumping, with ominous cymbal clatter as an additional way to jangle the listener’s nerves. Electric bass is reduced to a nearly subsonic throb, occasionally augmented by subtle keyboard hums. The piece as a whole recalls Painkiller (the trio of John Zorn, Bill Laswell and drummer Mick Harris) circa their dubby, ambient-influenced Execution Ground set; it's marvelously creepy." (...) "This group has a surprising, present-day sound, which offers enough challenges to the listener to make further releases a very enticing prospect."
