"Sixth installment of one Thomas Brinkmann' s cryptic series' of singles, and oddly to these ears this one sounds a lot like one of the "orange sleeved named after women" records, instead of having the smudgy, rolling kind of seasick sound of the first five Maxernst 12"s. Not a bad thing mind you, but searching for a narrative embedded somewhere in this guys releases is temptation easy to succumb to -- Brinkmann tracks sometimes sound like someone trying to solve a differential equation more than anything else. Still, a damn solid four tracker whether you know the math or not, especially the first track with it's squirrely sequencer sequence, and the third with it's pseudo organ vamping a la Grant Green. As an added bonus, the label depicts what could be one of those classic confrontations between Jerry West and Oscar Robertson, an epic struggle that meant so much to so many, and who wouldn't want to own a little piece of history?" -- Billy Kiely
