Travail, Transformation, and Flow

by Steve Lehman Octet

supported by

Giles Among many other things, Mr Sorey's performance by itself on this track is still ahead of its time eleven years later. But every moment of this record is full of playing on another level, yet it leaves you wanting more because the compositions are so deep. All time masterpiece for sure Favorite track: Alloy.

Yuma Uesaka The album title says it all Favorite track: Alloy.

spiros_metsouggis Dope as fuck record, they kill it front to end. Spectacular sequencing on the tracks too. Dat ending! Favorite track: Living in the World Today (GZA Transcription).
