Haven't been able to listen to the whole thing yet, unfortunately, but the
first track, the title track, is awesome: tight ensemble passages,
well-meshed open-improv passages, great sound fidelity (warning: i have no
ear for sound fidelity and may be wrong on this last part).

I would say its great sound quality especially for a Screwgun release.
"Open, Coma" is a fine tune, the only new one on the cd. Certain passages
sound reminiscent of other tunes, but its hard to pin down. There's also
"Eye Contact" from the Memory Select" cd, one of my favorite Bloodcount
tunes. The 2nd cd has "The Legend of p-1" from "Pace Yourself" and "Impacted
Wisdom" from "Nice View" They really tear it up on this last tune. I defy
anyone to listen to this one tune at anything other than full blast. The
Copenhagen Art Ensemble sound really good and showcase many fine talents,
esp. Peter Fuglsang-bass clarinet, Thomas Clausen-piano, fender rhodes, and
Mads Hyhne-trombone. Tim Berne really needs a trombone player on all his
cds, its great for a punchy low end. Needless to say, any fan of Tim Berne
needs to grab this sucker immediately. Cheers,

bad tastes in the bands mouths. white zombie comes to mind, as well as mick
jagger if i recall correctly.

Anybody know what Norman Westberg is doing these days?
