A carefully thought post-free approach to jazz trio playing from a deconstructive perspective questioning instrument role, density, pulse, harmony and melody and proposing, in the ensuing void, an unprejudiced interaction expanding across genders."-Modist

notes
"Bates/Linz/McManus, a trio effort joining drummer J.T Bates, bassist Adam Linz and McManus, begins with a persistent bass motif that Linz doggedly sticks to as Bates enters with off-kilter drum beats and McManus strums dissonant extrapolations. Unified by a common melodic theme, the players nonetheless maintain three distinctly different approaches, occasionally coming together in brief harmony before restlessly setting off on disparate paths.
A collection of trios, duets and solos, the album is a mixture of unique improvisations, ranging from the stuttering trio groove of “x(fin)” to the desolate, distorted soundscape that is “Cataclysm”. McManus’ skills as a guitarist and knack for experimentation are apparent throughout, most strikingly on “Arepticious”, a piece that features his distorted guitar amid patched electronic samples and the kind of stuttering interference that results from holding a cell phone up to an amplifier.
This kind of freewheeling, minimalist improvisational style is a potent mix of jazz, classical and rock. Drawing equally from Jimi Hendrix, Steve Reich and Derek Bailey, McManus and company seem hell-bent on not only creating a unique group sound, but also redefining the role and accepted notions of their respective instruments."
By Matthew Miller, All About Jazz New York, December 2007
"The set opens up with a tasty repeating bass figure, Linz's woody tone establishing a nice contrast with McManus as they enter some fine counterpoint."Entrance" buzzes with activity, with lots of dense clusters and racing staccato like a Joe Morris improvisation."-Jason Bivin CADENCE MAGAZINE, Winter 2008
