A. Four/One
B. Three/Two

Debut LP from the trio of Greg Jacobs, Timo van Luijk, and Marc Wroblewski... Frankly, I've no clue about their backgrounds, but as far as I can judge from these four pieces, they all are accomplished players/improvisers. The calmness which designates the drum, sax and bass section at the axis; the fantastic acoustic side which keeps modulating their improvisational performance; the rich timbre of the warped guitar, and last but not least, the noisy side, discharged without losing sight of aim and audience. The A part seems to have an endless stream of sound effects, whereas on part B there's more traditional electro-acoustic improvisation, with the inclusion of electronic tape manipulation. Instruments can be recognized as such and there is much else to be heard. Dedicated to Geert Feytons of Noise Makers Fifes, who took his own life last year. "Musical homage" may just be an understatement.
