"Arthur Doyle is one of the great originals of American post-tongue freedom. His work on the saxophone, flute, voice-o-phone and vocals is beautiful enough to set anyone's hair on fire. Throughout a recording career that began in 1969, Mr. Doyle has been a premier exponent of high-energy improvisation. Even when it's whispered as though he was hidden in a barrel, Doyle's music possesses a riveting undercurrent of maniacal energy. There is always a sense that he is about to burst through his skin. And so it is here. Recorded live w/ members from some of the East Coast's most estimable, most thoroughly underground units (V3, Nod, Coffee, Temple of Bon Matin, Pengo, Sheet & the Strapping Fieldhands amongst them), Doyle is in rare and weird form here. Most of his previous recordings have hewn closely to one of his stylistic threads or another. W/ Alan Silva or Sunny Murray, Mr. Doyle works in the (so called) jazz tradition. Alone, he presents a side that reeks w/ spiritual confusion and an intense grapple w/ societal demonology. The guys he plays w/ here allow Mr. Doyle to balance himself between these two style-poles, and the results are pretty amazing. Recorded in very lo-fi, the music here was sonically dicked-w/ for many many hours by Jim O'Rourke."
