"This reviewer had the good fortune to be at the Chicago show by these wonderful musicians. The pairing between the highly abstract, microtonal saxophones of John Butcher and the more conventionally loquacious (if no less inventive) Gerry Hemingway was something of a surprise at the time. But it worked like a charm, and this fine recording documents how such seemingly disparate styles can produce both great inner tension in the music and also can result in brilliant explorations into shared territory.
Hemingway is in top form throughout this disc, using triggered electronics sparingly and inventively alongside his thoughtfully textured kit work (including rubbed drum heads, bowed cymbals, and so forth). In these registers, his playing meshes easily with Butcher's evolved microscopic approach to saxophonics (buzzing metal, whining split tones, hissing reed).
Fans of Butcher's recent output and the contemporary developments of his singular style will delight at hearing the master on these pieces.
Yet one of the more fascinating subplots of this duo is the encounter between Hemingway's furious pulse-driven playing and Butcher's voice. The saxophonist of course has no problems navigating this territory and finding his voice therein; it is simply a context in which he does not often find himself, and the results are pretty stimulating on long tracks like "Shift" or "End of Cane Cloud".
Overall, there is much intense focus and concentration on detail as Butcher and Hemingway move through this stark and often silent terrain. Oriented more towards abstract, even subliminal gestures than to Grand Events, these two create music that burns with inner fire."
