"A veritable new music supergroup, featuring guitarist Fred Frith (Henry Cow, Art Bears, Massacre, Skeleton Crew), drummer/lyricist Chris Cutler (Henry Cow, Pere Ubu, Cassiber), vocalist Amy Denio (The E.C. Nudes, Billy Tipton Memorial Sax Quartet), bassist/vocalist Bob Drake (5UUs, Thinking Plague), composer/keyboardist Stevan Tickmayer, and clarinetist Claudio Puntin. The most recent of a set of albums (Art Bears, News From Babel, Domestic Stories) where Chris Cutler's lyrics are set to music by a composer, in this case contemporary classical composer Tickmayer. It takes the shape of a song cycle which peers into the further reaches of scientific theory, dealing with, amongst other things, chaos theory, the mysteries of quantum physics, black holes and the formation of galaxies."
