Stylistically a kinder, gentler Ceramic Dog album. Don’t get it twisted, Marc is still very much pissed off. His lyrics offer much fuel for interesting conversation. The band sounds less rigid and more elastic in their sound this time around. Maybe it was the unique method of recording this one, but it stands as their most eclectic release. Not sure why they left off the “7.83 Hz” track from the digital release, however… Lord Dubious

Weird and wonky deconstructed post-punk from EXEK is full of changing moods, textures, and all sorts of unexpected sonic surprises. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 10, 2021
I've enjoyed Mark's playing for decades, flitting in and out of jazz, prog and experimental. This may be "none of the above", but an entirely engaging experiment regardless. Moving, and occasionally darkly humorous.
It reminds me of the great albums Hal Willner used to put out, marrying diverse artists to perform unique tributes on a theme (Thelonious Monk to Nino Rota, Kurt Weill to Walt Disney) -- except here, of course, Ribot is a through-thread. The theme's the title... power to the people! Dr. "Buzz" Frenzy (Matthew J Hesse)
