*''Memphis'' review on [http://www.heathenharvest.com/article.php?story=20081030155452621 Heathen Harvest] (excerpt); "Throughout “Memphis” is a consistently flowing top-shelf example of how electronic and acoustic sources work together in improvised music today. It's nearly impossible to not mention the classic example of AMM's pioneering work in this field or the more contemporary efforts of Evan Parker's group settings, even if Jensen's reed work owes more to someone like Jon Butcher. The interplay between Jensen's multiphonics and ornamental work and the brass-playing on the opening track is almost Scelsi-like amidst the drones and looped sounds from Whyte's guitar and the other subtle sonics. Some truly sublime and captivating music. “Rosetta Stone Paperweight” features more feedback and the sort of scraped sound aesthetic found on “AMMusic” circa 1969, but perhaps with a more sensitive set of ears. This is not improvised music of reckless abandon, but carefully crafted abstract soundscapes of the most deliberate nature. The dynamic interplay gets a bit sloppy in moments but really exposes how in touch these cats are with one another in the moment." | *''Memphis'' review on [http://www.heathenharvest.com/article.php?story=20081030155452621 Heathen Harvest] (excerpt); "Throughout “Memphis” is a consistently flowing top-shelf example of how electronic and acoustic sources work together in improvised music today.
