Reviews4 out of 5 - "...Watts is an absolute rock, slamming out that irresistible Stones backbeat on occasion...showing the world that he has big ears and a sophisticated appreciation of many rhythms and sounds...", 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...A techno-worldbeat album....each cut has its moments to recommend. Return visits indicate a creative process, and a level of communication between artists who crave innovation from musical sources both human and inhuman.", "...Inventive, ambient tracks based on seductive grooves and titled after jazz-drum legends....blissful, uncategorizable sound poetry." - Rating: B, "...Very agreeable and individual, the kind of inventive, eccentric music-for-its-own-sake that one would hardly expect from 2 veteran rockers who need never hit another skin...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...Surprisingly hypnotic and moderne...the approach is impressionistic, and occasionally scary...", "...An interpretive soundscape, that clatters and pounds with uncommon power and feel...utilizing untapped nuances and layers of percussive sound to flesh out tomes to legendary drummers..."
Additional InformationThe release is a polyrhythmic labor of love, a big name tribute to jazz drumming through the decades.
