Always searching for possibillities, the band sounds quite fresh. Unlike ThrackAttack, these improvs are sharp, lean and on target. Maybe four heads are better than six. The third disc has some good ideas, but the improvosation is much more effective when buffeted by songs. That is what the 1973-74 band understood so well, and why those concerts are touchstones now.
Nobody is afraid to get in the other's way here, and the chemistry seems just right.
I think we have a future. Nothing to get rid of. The great Crim strikes again. These discs haven't left my player since they have arrived at my house. I didn't allow expectation to become part of the process and instead I just let these marvelous sounds become what they wished.
