About

"The first album Martin Archer has made as a sole musician, but an ingenious studio construct rather than a 'pure' solo performance. Parts of the album recall The World Saxophone Quartet, with Archer stacking intricate tenor, alto and sopranino lines over glutionous baritone riffs. As knotty and angular as things can get, there's a teriffic sense of swing to tunes like "Pressure Shocks" and Roscoe Mitchell's "Jo Jar", with spiralling solos creating a sense of spontaneity. The title track is more abstract, with Archer's high-toned saxophones evoking animated dolphin song over glockenspiel and finger cynbals. With its combination of bass clarinet and flute, "Owl Joins In With The Morning Birds" could be a tribute to Eric Dolphy, but in a lovely twist, Archer adds melodica and electronic chirrups." - Stewart Smith THE WIRE

"It took a year to record this project that depends on multi-tracking and editing. Happily, this didn't lead to overcrowded arrangements. On the contrary, Archer succeeds in keeping it sober and to the point. In thirteen very different compositions, Archer carves his music, using many playing techniques. A captivating album." - Dorf Mulder, VITAL WEEKLY
