In all honesty this shit is intense. The smokin' and spacey sounds they create, the places they take us on this debut CD are so unique, thrilling and inspiring. Cross-genre craftsmanship, that is both intelligent and soulful. The Paradox Trio has brought something very special into the world. The Knitting Factory label web site.
Every track is outstanding.
They are very musical but with great appeal to the lower brain functions, as well. Super NY scenester Spooky has spun avant collages at the Knitting Factory and driven stonily blissed groovers wild at places like Fuse and Midnight. This is a real flowing sonic collage which brings some of his divergence together and he definitely keeps several tricks in the air at once. Circus organ, Moroccan percussion, and many other little surprises mesh in between heavy scornish dub bass and beats. It ain't what ya got, it's where you use it and Spook has the touch of the gods, obviously delightin' in the magic of the right switch at the right time.
