I have to say that there seems to be some confusion about the name of this act. I've seen it listed with the group name the same as the album title. Of course, that's the first initials of all the musicians. Well, I'm pretty well certain, the correct way to list it is the way I have, with all their full names. I could be wrong, though.

So, beyond the name, what is this like. Well, just going down that list of musicians, you have to know that this is a talented bunch. Here's the thing about this music, it's not well-suited for a track by track review, but that's what I do here. These songs are all fusion and prog oriented. They all seem very freeform. They are all instrumental. That makes much of the description the same, but these songs are not the same at all. Each has its own identity. I've focused my track reviews on things that stand out about each one, but let me just say that each track on these two CDs (labeled as chapters) is unique and potent. If you like adventurous instrumental music, this is among the best you will find. I'd be surprised if it doesn't make a lot of "best of 2021" lists. It's likely to make mine.

Freaky freeform oddities bring this into being. It starts to take on almost a Weather Report vibe at times as it begins building. This grows and intensifies as it keeps marching forward. The cut really gets into some noisy and dangerous sounding zones before it's finished.

There is some particularly cool sounding bass work on this number at times. The whole track really rocks with some strangely intriguing freeform music.

There are some sections mid-track on this that seem to lean towards more mainstream prog like 1970s Yes. Yet, the freeform weirdness that is a part of the whole disc is also present here. This gets so powered up and intense later. There are references to King Crimson to be made. This is a real screamer before it's over and done.

While atmospherics dance overhead, bass paints some intriguing patterns during parts of this number.

This gets pretty crazed at times. yet it has a good dynamic range.

Rising up slowly and gradually, this has an echoey sort of vibe to it as it gets underway. There are some really intense moments along this ride.
