There are passages, as on “Nailed” for piano and computer, where Lapslap
evoke some of the very best of the early musique concrete productions
of the Pierre Schaeffer circle, wile in part of “Honk” for tenor sax,
piano and electronics, the spirit of Stockhausen hovers, though some
visceral Broetzmann-style outbursts justifying the title) sweep
everything else aside and go some way to preparing the ears for the
flurry of Industrial noise on the next track, “Hungry”, for piano and
two computers. Elsewhere, in “Motor Mouth” for example, there is some
good old mainstream Fire Music, with shades of Archie Shepp and Cecil
Taylor. This sequence of contrasts gives some indication of the
group’s tactic of constantly unsettling your expectations.
