 “With King Crimson ‘officially’ in retirement (until Robert Fripp changes his mind), the team of Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto and Markus Reuter serves as a more than suitable alternative, with the sound wonderfully similar to the Kingdom’s ‘Red’ period.
 “Levin is on Chapman Stick, touch guitars and vocoder, with Mastelotto on various drums and percussion and Reuter creating soundscapes with his own touch guitars. The result is a mix of gorgeous textures as on ‘Ringtone’ and ‘Danger In the Workplace’ that mix ambience with ominous sonic atmospheres.
 “There’s also a thunderous pounding of drama on ‘Company of Ghosts’ and a relentless drum pattern for Reuter on ‘Satieday Night’ while the team rocks hard on ‘Tentacles’.
 “Levin continues to be one of the most impressive creators of new sounds, as his Chapman stick takes fusion to an exciting new level. Three of a perfect pair.” - George Harris, Jazz Weekly
