"First off we have to say that the four (yes four, four very long tracks) compositions that square the circle of Bowden's new album Slightly Askew pick up from where Time Capsule, his debut long player on Soul Jazz, left off. The trademark sonic sculptures develop over four epic studies in harmony and counterpoint and present angular themes that are deconstructed to their minimalist origins before new mutations take us to a wholly new place. The beats of Tom Gordon and Andy Hamill lay down the funk for layers of horns, strings, woodwind, keyboards and percussion to extrapolate in the vertical and the horizontal to the max... whew! This is a truly organic journey that challenges us to examine the preconceptions of our musical reference."
