The results are an unsurprisingly delicious slice of made from the finest ingredients. The superb playing of on electric bass is unquestionably the anchor throughout the album's nine slices, leaving and company to follow suit with loose (but not too far out) that's as equally relaxing as it is invigorating. While 's adventurous side is slightly tamed, it's that willingness to improv and blend together as a cohesive unit that makes such a tasty statement that is consistently fresh with repeated listenings. ~ Rob Theakston
