"Derek Bailey (guitar), Gavin Bryars (bass), Tony Oxley (drums). First performance together since 1966. Recorded in Cologne 1998." "So here they were, together again after 32 years, which is equivalent to the period separating Louis Armstrong's Hot Five recordings and Ornette Coleman's Tomorrow Is The Question. The essence of the trio was there from Bailey's opening pair of acerbic chords, through Bryars' ever attentive basslines, to Oxley's orchestrations of time itself. There was no sense of nostalgia here, more the feel of three men resuming a conversation they had begun some time ago, while mindful that their subject matter back then has been widely discussed in many languages since, and that this was a restatement through minds enriched with subsequent experiences." -- Andy Shone/The Wire.
